[SunHELP] Repost -- Solaris 7 Vs Solaris 2.6

[Dave Lewis]

So the Rasterflex-32-HR is still supported in 7 and 8 ?

is it just a case of drop in and it recconizes it ?
or do I have to manually load drivers ? as I say.. I'm a little
green on this Unix specific stuff.  :)

btw Thanks for your time

Dave
