EISA under 11.0

[Mike Fisher_5]

Anil & all you other experts out there

Yesterday a thread appeared called "HPUX upgrading" [China Demo]

Anil you mentioned in your reply that any EISA network card on a system with HP-UX 11.0 will not be supported
...Has to be PCI

QUESTIONS
Is this true in 32-bit 11.0?
Does it apply to EISA MUX as well?

32bit is ok. There are no drivers for any EISA product in 64 bit HP-UX

[John Palmer]

Is this true in 32-bit 11.0?
No, 32bit 11.00 drivers are available and work OK, 64bit 11.00 drivers are not.

Does it apply to EISA MUX as well?
EISA MUX cards work OK under 32bit 11.00.

Regards,
John
