Re: USB on Ultra 10

[Emmanuel Kasper <kdev@no-log.org>]

Actually it is not difficulkt to find a USB 2.0 controller for your 
ultra10 that will work.
All those mentionned at http://www.sun.com/io_technologies/PCI.html will 
probably work. I have personnally an adaptec 3100, and it works very 
well on my ultra 10, both with Linux and Solaris.
I thing in general harware expension for a sun pci based machine, the 
best bet is to buy something that is at least supported on the mac, 
since then you're pretty sure the card does not contain specific x86 
hardware designs.
