3Com 3C597-TX in an Indigo2

You would still need the drivers -- and I have an idea that Phobos may
only license people to use the drivers on *their* cards ;).

A similar "problem" -- by picking a card for which there are drivers
(and making sure you buy the card and the drivers) -- from e.g. Phobos.

Unfortunately, IRIX does not come with drivers for this card.

: What about any DOS Emulators running under IRIX?
: Maybe it's possible to run the EISA Utility from 3Com under this emulation.
: Something like SoftWin?

You are kiddin right?? hmmm would you want to do low level operations via
an emulator??

godwin

What about any DOS Emulators running under IRIX?
Maybe it's possible to run the EISA Utility from 3Com under this emulation.
Something like SoftWin?

Notchet.  Apparently Phobos does something with them,
perhaps in the EISA ID EEPROM.  Every person who has
posted that they work in an Indigo 2 has a card that
originally came from Phobos, for an Indigo 2.  
You are not alone in trying this.  I know of two
other  people who bought generic 3Com cards
and have the same problem, "unrecognized board".

It may be possible to use the EISA configuration
utility (under DOS (heh!) on an EISA PeeCee) to change
the information in the EEPROM so that the Indigo 2
recognizes the board.  But, I certainly don't have
an EISA PeeCee (I'm fairly certain I never WILL) to
try it.
