Sun PCI II Coprocessor Support for Linux?

Posted by Cliff on Friday March 30, 2001 @01:30PM from the searching-for-support dept.

nprodrom asks: "Has anyone done any developement on drivers/software to support the Sun PCI II Coprocessor board under Linux? I know very little about creating such things, but everything I've read makes me think that it must be possible (except for the fact that I haven't seen anything about someone actually doing it). I've got this crazy hair-brained idea of having about six of these things running in one big Linux box to do some really cool terminal stuff. Now I just need to find someone else who is smart enough to write it for me. Never heard of these things? You can find out more information about them here". These things are yet another way to run Windows under a Unix system, this (it seems) is made expressly for Solaris. Would supporting this piece of hardware under different Unicies be possible?

"I've got this crazy hair-brained idea of having about six of these things running in one big Linux box to do some really cool terminal stuff"
But in the website he links to, it explicitly says,
"Note: SunPCi II software drivers currently support a maximum of one card in any Sun workstation."
So that wont work. Sounds like a cool idea though (although, I'd run Windows 2000 to play games...)
