I have a SS5-110 with a NPI DAS FDDI card (type number 105-0126-04) and
Solarais 2.6. This card was also soled by Sun. The card works, but is
slow, i.e. I get 2..3 MB/s. The older SGI Indigo 2 R4k4 150 MHz with a
GIO64 FDDI card can do 6+ MB/s NFS and 8+ MB/s raw TCP. More important:
When I disconnect / reconnect the FDDI cables from / to the NPI card
while the interface is up the SS5 hangs. Even Stop A does not work.
Powercycling is the only way to get the machine back on its feet again.
Get a PMAX, Alpha, RS/6k or the like for this task.
