[geeks] Solaris 10 GPS NTP help?

[Phil Stracchino]

I'm trying to set up a Pharos GPS receiver (USB ID 067b:aaa0) as a
stratum0 time source for Solaris 10u9 amd64.  babylon4 sees the device,
installs it as /devices/pci at 0,0/pci10f1,5350 at 1d/device at 2:67b.aaa0 and
powers it up, but as far as I can see there is no Solaris ntpd XType
entry for Pharos GPS.

According to the docs I've been able to find, TRAK 8820, TrueTime,
Magnavox MX4200, Austron 2201A, Arbiter 1088A/B, and HP 58503A GPS
receivers are supported, plus "Generic NMEA GPS receiver".  I tried
using Generic NMEA, giving XType 127.127.20.0, with the following results:

Sep  6 09:46:38 babylon4 ntpdate[29186]: [ID 558275 daemon.notice]

Can anyone tell me what I need to do to correctly create /dev/gps0?
