[SunHELP] Graphics Options for SUN Ultra Enterprise 1

[Richard Skelton]

Hi Jerry,
If you have an Ultra 1E the :-
/usr/platform/`uname -i`/sbin/prtdiag

should produce :-
System Configuration:  Sun Microsystems  sun4u Sun Ultra 1 UPA/SBus (UltraSPARC 
167MHz)

note the UPA/SBus

The UPA means you have the UPA slot for the Creator3D graphics board.
