No. To the best of my knowledge, sparclinux does not support any Fujitsu SPARC64 CPU-s. I have a couple of PrimePowers with SPARC64 IV and V CPUs and I tried to get a master student to add support for SPARC64 V and one corresponding PCI root complex, but we have not done anything yet and may never get to it as the hardware ages and interest lessens. If someone wants to do it. I still have the PrimePower 450 hooped up to power, net and scf in DMZ (remote access is possible). Does VII also have specs of CPU + chipset available? -- Meelis Roos (mr...@linux.ee)
