Sorry about the short/terse message --my hands were sore yesterday. When there is a need for hardware, it's always best to *also* give details like suitable part numbers as well as the "brand name" of the given product. Some people mentally map brand names, while others mentally map product names... --You'd be surprised how much stuff is sitting in the garages, basements and closets of OpenBSD users. :-) Keeping track of it all is a pain. I'll see what I can dig up. My fear is the brand name "Creator3D" is used on multiple products with vastly differing hardware. I might have one (or more) of them here collecting dust. Most of my sun hadware is SS20 and U2 (with one U60 for kicks), but I have lots of them and plenty of spare parts. I *think* the "Creator3D" was also available on the Ultra2 but without a part number to reference, it's tough to say it's the same thing as the Ultra10 version. I want to think there were both PCI and SBUS versions which carried that name... ------------------------------------------------------------------ (after some digging) Sorry for the resend Edd, and I've cc'd oga@ and misc@ on this one. Below is what I found on sunsolve and it seems I was right about the "Creator" brand name. Note, there are some dupes in the list below and I've forgotten the name of the interface Sun used on the Ultra-2 for video/graphics but it's a SBUS based system. Also, I've never owned a Ultra-30 (and I'm too lazy to look it up) but I'm pretty sure it is a PCI based machine.

I know Edd is in the UK, but I'm not sure where oga@ is located? I'm guessing at least one for oga@ is required, but getting a second one to Edd to help with testing might also be desirable. (and lastly for the peanut gallery on misc@, sending hardware to devs is one of the best ways you can say "thank you" for all the cool code you give us) Kind Regards, JCR
