I don't know. I just read this as result of a google research while i
was checking the OS possibilities for my ZX based sparc. For
simplicity, i decided to put the card into my ss10 clone and run it
with solaris 7 (which also gives me the possibility to use the ISDN
port of the box).

At present i have a SS2 clone left (with cg3/cg6 graphics) which i
could use for experiments if i get another REALLY CHEAP ZX card. What i
already know is that the ZX can be run in console mode in this box
without problems.
