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.

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"! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Buddy Brannan" <davros@xxxxxxxxxx> To: <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Tuesday, October 03, 2000 9:33 AM Subject: Re: speakup on a sparc | 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. | | -- | Buddy Brannan, KB5ELV | Email: davros at ycardz.com | Voice mail: 877-791-5298 | All opinions are all mine! | | _______________________________________________ | Speakup mailing list | Speakup at braille.uwo.ca | http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup at braille.uwo.ca http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup
