While the bwtwo "MG1" and "MG2" Sbus cards support is gone, the bwtwo driver is still tehre (no 64 bit version, tho) and I think I've heard that the ELC certainly still works. It doesnt' have MG1/MG2 graphics. Casper -- Expressed in this posting are my opinions. They are in no way related to opinions held by my employer, Sun Microsystems. Statements on Sun products included here are not gospel and may be fiction rather than truth.
