Sorry, I've missed this message originally, but noticed it today when
it was forwarded to sparclinux. In theory, I could build and upload
those, however looking at the list I get an impression that all these
drivers were only available on sparc32 machines which we no longer
support (with possible exception of cg6 which was available in some
Ultra 1s, as I seem to recall).
Does anyone on the list have counterexamples, i.e. sparc64 machines
(Ultra 1 or newer) running with any of those drivers?
Best regards,
