Dear all,
Solaris 8 can not detect USB hard drives. What patches or How can I
make it detect USB devices ?

Upgrade to Solaris 10??

Seriously, asking a ten, or so, year old O/S to support the latest
fashions is not reasonable! Either write your own driver(s) or upgrade!

If you can write such a driver and make it work, you can probably get a
job just about anywhere!

Sol8 USB hard drive support even after patching with the USB framework
is still kinda hit and miss.

Upgrade to Solaris 10 or OpenSolaris for best results.

Workstation with Solaris 8 is not upgradeable because Solaris 8 is a
layer with another software .

:-) Of course Sun was forced (coerced) into supporting the thing until
2012.

True...

I wouldn't upgrade to Solaris 10. I mean, 10 is already 5 years old
now.


Nigel Tufnel: Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra
push over the cliff, you know what we do?
Marty DiBergi: Put it up to eleven.
Nigel Tufnel: Eleven. Exactly. One louder.
Marty DiBergi: Why don't you just make ten louder and make ten be the
top number and make that a little louder?
Nigel Tufnel: [pause] These go to eleven.
