What you probably should say is that the 4/6xx machines are no longer
supported as of SunOS 5.6 (aka Solaris 2.6), although if you don't need VME
it is *possible* to manually patch a 5.6 kernel to work on the 4/6xx, but
this is not sanctioned by Sun.

Someone posted the method to do this, but I'm not sure if anyone saved the
details...

>	2. even with hacking, there is no VME support

A follow-on from point 1.

Regards,

Craig.
