Hello,

two questions:
1. Does anyone else here use NetBSD 2.x on a SPARCbook 3GX? I just resurrected mine and dug up some hardware info.
2. What about wscons? I recently added wscons support to the cgsix driver on sparc64, it should work on sparc32 too but I can't really test it because the only box with SBus slots I have is an Ultra1. Volunteers? 
The reason for question 2 is - I'm playing with the SPARCbook's graphics controller, the documentation from Tadpole is quite sketchy but the holes are filled by XFree86 3.3 so I guess it wouldn't be hard to add acceleration to pnozz*. The obvious way to go would be rasops and wsdisplay but I don't see any wscons support in sparc32 ( well, wscons attachments for keyboard and mouse work on sparc64, more or less, so all that's missing is framebuffer support )

have fun
Michael
