Some computer archeology:
SPARCstation 20 + NI Sbus card (pre TNT) (all this hardware is over 10 years old!)
Installed Solaris 9
Installed NI488.2 v2.2 (only have PCI-GPIB, so installed driver, but couldn't attach)
Installed NI488.2 v2.3 upgrade - this handles NI-GPIB,SBus, but still attach fails.
The pkgadd reports installion complete.
Eg: devfsadm -i ib reports "driver failed to attach: ib"
prtconf -D looks good: NI,GPIB-SBus (driver name: ib)
Could it be something in /etc/ibrc upsetting the ib driver?
If I don't get this to work, then I downgrade to Sun4.1.3 - which I know works (but is dumb!)
Thanks!
