Hi again,
I'm having a little trouble accessing a memory PC Card in my Ultra
10. I just installed one of the SCM swapboxes (supported/OEM) and did a
boot -r.
prtdiag shows
Bus# Freq
Brd Type MHz Slot Name Model
--- ---- ---- ---- --------------------------------

0 PCI-1 33 1 ebus
0 PCI-1 33 1 network-SUNW,hme
0 PCI-1 33 2 SUNW,m64B ATY,GT-C
0 PCI-1 33 3 ide-pci1095,646
0 PCI-2 33 1 pcmcia-pci104c,ac13
0 PCI-2 33 1 pcmcia-pci104c,ac13
System PROM revisions:

OBP 3.25.3 2000/06/29 14:12 POST 3.1.0 2000/06/27 13:56
So I assume that I'm good hardware wise, and in admintool, I have the
following installed.
PCMCIA Support 1.0.0
Where I am thrown for a loop is with the device name. With vold running,
should it automagically try to 'build' the device?
I read the options at docs.sun.com for fdformat, my problem is just
basic cluelessness about how to 'address' the device in /dev/rdsk.
My end goal is to have a memory card or even possible a type 3 ATA disk to
store common files across several systems such as my pgp keyring and
whatnot. Am I just barking up the wrong tree? Is anyone succesfully using
a PC card drive under Solaris 8, or did I just learn why there are so few
(I've never seen one, besides mine) Ultra 5/10's with the PCMCIA reader
installed?
Thanks in advance!
