You may be able to get what you need from this for the SunPC card at least it
is something.

B  That's for the PCI version; I believe John's board is the SBus
version.B  I don't think I have the software for the SBus version, but I
might; I will look.

B  For the PCI version, I have v1.3, v2, and v3.B  I also have a lot of

that matters to anyone.

I'm hoping to end up with it and I would love to get it running if
anyone has a source for the software.B  It is the sbus version, and at a
first glance, it appears it's only able to be used with Solaris 2.6 and
older, can anyone vouch for that?

I'd love to get my hands on a PCI vesion one of those as well and would
love any hints on running one if I get one.

We had a bug with Mailman on sunmanagers.org where occasionally Mailman
would completely crap itself and lose its mind and revert to an older
subscriber list, so I suspect it's something like that.B 

I ended up doing nightly backups/rsyncs of the list databases to another
partition along with the list backups, because it was a huge pain when
it randomly spazzed out.

This was before we finally retired the list (I just keep the archives
online @sunmanagers.org now) due to declining participation and finally
a massive hardware failure in September 2014 (which happened at the same
time that I was on an emergency trip to Oklahoma City as my mom was
having heart surgery... So understandably it wasn't on my priority
list).

We had this to an extent with the "Summaries" version of sunmanagers; I
can't honestly tell you how I initially set it up, as that was almost
fifteen years ago!B  Must start documenting my own stuff more. :)

After twelve years, I got caught up in the RIFs at Halliburton
a couple of weeks ago, and am now looking for employment in the
Houston area (or open to telecommuting to anywhere).B 

If anyone has a senior systems admin position (or equivalent)
open I would love to hear about it.

If you'd like to take a look:

Thanks.B  I don't normally spam the lists with personal stuff like this,
but I figure this is a one-time special situation.
