speakup on a sparc

[Klarich, Terry]

I have approached SUN about this on a few occassions with no success.  Their
stance is just to use the serial console.  (which I do for work)

These days, one can obtain solaris for the media costs.  The source can be
made available to those who have special development needs.  Not sure on the
exact details; but, can find out of anyone is interested.

Personally, I would think speakup with linux on a sparc would be time better
spent.  Linux far exceeds solaris 2.8 on my Ultra 5.

For additional comments please refer to Kerry's excellent message. It would
be
really neat if we could port Speakup to Sollaris. I doubt that SUN would be
interested, well, perhaps. How about if we try to send a note to Sollaris
developers. Perhaps they will write their own "Speakup"!

| Well, Kirk can address this better, but I don't see any reason why you
| can't run Linux on a Sparc *if* you're running Linux for a Sparc
processor.
| Since Speakup is of course specifically a patch into the Linux kernel, I
| doube it can be patched into a Solaris kernel.
