Hi,Apparantly my question wasn't too smart - the Weitec achieves its double speedthrough clock doubling within the chip only.The outside speed (cpu board) remains the same and hence the presence of the Weitec is not detected by the devinfo command.The way to determine is to run a short program ...

Here's a summary of information we've gathered from responses to ourpost of 31 Jan on the Hewlett-Packard optical disk drive.People have had good experiences with the unit itself.You need to buy driver software for SunOS 4.x or Solaris 2 if you wantto put filesystems on it, rather than just ...
