Need Sun Ultra 20 M2 Workstation Tools and Drivers CD 1.9 - another attempt
Hi!
I have asked here if someone has a copy of the BIOS and driver CD for a Sun Ultra 20 M2.
Unfortunately DukeNuke2 has jumped in and quickly locked the thread without engaging his brain first. (hint: this CD has been offered free for download by Sun long *before* Oracle bought them, so people that downloaded it then are not bound by anything Oracle has done later; in addition, the drivers and the BIOS were licensed by Sun to use on any Ultra 20 M2 workstation, so it's not as if I am asking for some copy of Windows or anything like that which would be piracy! And btw, the Ultra 20 M2 has been EOL'd by Sun a long time ago already (2008), and Oracle doesn't offer any support or support contracts for it. At the end of the day they just don't want to deal with this old kit any more.).
So in the hope that others have a bit more common sense I'll try again.

Hi All,
I bought a sun workstation from ebay. Can I replace the cd-rom drive with a dvd-rom drive with any type? I mean, can I just buy a dvd-rom drive from a pc store?

Hi everyone!
I have an odd question - If a sun workstation (Blade 2000) boots up into a login prompt, is there any chance that it could have hardware issues? Or once it gets that far is it 100% working.
I cant play with it before buying, so was interested to see if anyone could shed some... (4 Replies)

I'm in a desperate pursuit for Tools and Drivers CD for the six of my Ultra 20 M2 workstations - some of them have latest BIOS, some of them don't.

SIOP(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual SIOP(4)
NAME
siop -- Symbios Logic/NCR 53c8xx SCSI driver
SYNOPSIS
hp700
siop* at mainbus? irq 3
siop* at phatomas? irq 3
PCI
siop* at pci? dev ? function ?
options SIOP_SYMLED
scsibus* at siop?
DESCRIPTION
The siop driver provides support for the Symbios Logic/NCR 53x8xx series of SCSI controller chips:
- 53c810, 53c810a and 53c815 (Fast SCSI)
- 53c820, 53c825 and 53c825a (Fast-Wide SCSI)
- 53c860 (Ultra SCSI)
- 53c875 and 53c875j (Ultra-Wide SCSI)
- 53c876 (Dual Ultra-Wide SCSI)
- 53c885 (Ultra-Wide SCSI and Ethernet)
- 53c895 (Ultra2-Wide SCSI)
- 53c896 (PCI 64bit, dual Ultra2-Wide SCSI)
- 53c1010-33 (PCI 64bit, dual Ultra160 SCSI)
- 53c1510d (PCI 64bit, dual Ultra2-wide SCSI)
The SIOP_SYMLED option causes the driver to report SCSI activity on the GPIO pin 1, which is connected to the activity LED on some adapters.
At this time only the 53c895 based Symbios and Tekram adapters are known to require this.
If both siop and the esiop(4) drivers are compiled, esiop(4) will take precedence for controllers it supports.

AUTHORS
The siop driver was written by Manuel Bouyer <Manuel.Bouyer@lip6.fr> for NetBSD.
BUGS
