Hi,

I'll be replacing this machine (currently an LX) with an SS-20 soon, and I
was wondering if anyone has detailed the process to reconstruct the device
tree, etc. on the disk to suit the new hardware without having to re-install
SunOS?

I don't want to have to re-install, but I realise that because the LX and
SS-20 are radically different, I can't simply shift the disk over between
boxes and have it immediately boot up on the Sparc 20.

Hence a need for a detailed summary of the steps to take to adjust the disk
to suit the SS-20 hardware. BTW, I have a Solaris 2.6 CD here.

On a related note, let's talk about CPU modules...

According to the FEH, the SM-81's do not work in SS-20's. I'm trying to
figure out the line of progression for CPU modules which are supported in
the SS-20 (and the SS-10 for that matter). I know that it goes like this:

 SM-51 (50 MHz), SM-61 (60 MHz), SM-71 (75 MHz), ???, ???

What comes after the SM-71 in terms of speed, processing ability, etc.? Are
the HS11 (100 Mhz), HS21 (125 MHz) and the SM-151 (150 MHz) next along the
increasing speed/performance curve of SS-10 and SS-20 compatibility? Are
there any CPU modules which are faster than the 150 MHz SM-151's that will
work in SS-20's?

Also, what are the differences between the SuperSparc and HyperSparc
processors apart from higher raw clock speeds?

Regards,

Craig.
