RE: OpenBSD @ SS20



Sorry, but my SS20 says you are wrong. CS4215 is the model and the DBRI
header on this one is missing, being a US sold model. 

Oh, and if you doubt me, the OBSD Hardware Page says :

Audio support: 
on-board audio support for systems with AMD79C30 8-bit audio chips (this
includes sun4c models, SPARCclassic, and 600MP) 
SUNW,CS4231 16-bit audio chips found on SPARCstation 4/5, but on-board audio
for other sun4m systems is not supported 

Unsupported Devices. First of all, there are MANY unsupported devices. A
comprehensive list can probably not be written.
Serial Cards: On-board Audio and ISDN
This is present on some sun4m systems (LX, LC, SPARCstation 10/20).

the SS20 doesn't use DBRI.  The SS10 does (and so does the LX).  

DBRI is the goofy 16bit Audio + ISDN chip.  The sparc20 uses the CS4231 or 
similary audio chip, like the SS5.  These chips are common on PCs so are 
supposoed to be easy to get working :)

The tadpole 3G{s,x} also has the DBRI chip.
