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.

Where can I get Sun Ultra 20 tools & drivers when Oracle abandoned them?

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. Oracle doesn't support them anymore - I even bought myself a CSI to get to support, but still no luck - and it seems the ISOs are nowhere to be found... (2 Replies)

CMDIDE(4)						   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 						 CMDIDE(4)

NAME

     cmdide -- CMD Technology and Silicon Image IDE disk controllers driver

SYNOPSIS

     cmdide* at pci? dev ? function ? flags 0x0000
     options PCIIDE_CMD064x_DISABLE
     options PCIIDE_CMD0646U_ENABLEUDMA

DESCRIPTION

     The cmdide driver supports the CMD Technology PCI0640, PCI0643, PCI0646, PCI0648, PCI0649, and Silicon Image 0680 IDE controllers, and pro-
     vides the interface with the hardware for the ata(4) driver.

     The 0x0002 flag forces the cmdide driver to disable DMA on chipsets for which DMA would normally be enabled.  This can be used as a debugging
     aid, or to work around problems where the IDE controller is wired up to the system incorrectly.

SEE ALSO

     ata(4), atapi(4), intro(4), pci(4), pciide(4), wd(4), wdc(4)

BUGS

     There's no way to reliably know if a PCI064x controller is enabled or not.  If the driver finds a PCI064x, it will assume it is enabled
     unless the PCIIDE_CMD064x_DISABLE option is specified in the kernel config file.  This will be a problem only if the controller has been dis-
     abled in the BIOS and another controller has been installed and uses the ISA legacy I/O ports and interrupts.

     The PCI0646U controller is known to be buggy with Ultra-DMA transfers, so Ultra-DMA is disabled by default for this controller.  To enable
     Ultra-DMA, use the PCIIDE_CMD0646U_ENABLEUDMA option.  Ultra-DMA can eventually be disabled on a per-drive basis with config flags, see
     wd(4).

     The timings used for the PIO and DMA modes for controllers listed above are for a PCI bus running at 30 or 33 MHz.  This driver may not work
     properly on overclocked systems.
