4. Technical Description
EOF of bpp driver
-----------------
The bpp device driver supports an Sbus based parallel port device,
which was used in the Sun Ultra 1 and Ultra 2 (and earlier) systems.
More modern systems use the PCI based ecpp device.
Note that recently the SBus based workstations were officially EOF'd (although
code in ON still remains for them) and will not be supported in next
release of Solaris. (See PSARC 2009/572.)
Hence, we feel it is appropriate to remove the bpp driver from Nevada,
as the driver will not be useful to users of OpenSolaris or Solaris Next.
