I know the offical answer is no, but : >what's the real answer? : Real answer is also "no". SC1000 has a completely different architecture : from previous incarnations of Suns. If you demand Solaris 1.1.1 and : demand multiprocessing, find a used 690MP and stick a ton of memory in it : and some HyperSPARC CPUs. That's about as good as it gets. Otherwise : get an SS10 or 20 and stick to one CPU -- you're welcome to try the : SS[12]0 with two CPUs, but without Sun's blessing or support (if you : care about such things). Of course, you can use multiple HyperSPARCs in a SS10 as well (still without Sun's blessing, but ROSS claims this works and users confirm that). -- Szymon Sokol -- Network Manager U U M M M M University of Mining and Metallurgy, Computer Center U U MM MM MM MM ave.
