Anyone have a HALstation 300 install CD?

[dwight]

I may be that the 300 required some special init sequence to the processor. It seems like I recall that it needed to do a scan to initialize a couple of values. This may make it not work on a Sparcstation 5. I don't recall if we shipped units with this problem or if they made a rev of the silicon before shipping???

that would be great. I've not been able to get Jason's images to boot

I also got a Sparcstation 5 running Solaris 2.6 and have had no luck getting it to recognize the HAL boot drives.

Their is something odd about the drives, I've only been able to image one of the boot drives on a Linux machine
even though they boot fine.
