Solution  1003560.1 :   Solaris[TM]: What Addonics USB devices are supported  


PreviouslyPublishedAs
205010

Symptoms
I have several Addonics storage devices attached to my PCs. Can I use
those same USB devices with Solaris[TM]?

Resolution

At the present time only a selected group of Addonics USB storage devices
were certified to work with Solaris[TM] OE 8 or later on the Sun Blade[TM]
series computers only.  However, any Addonics USB device conforming to a
'class' driver will most likely work with Solaris[TM] and the chances are
very good if installed on a late model Sun[TM] computer.
For a complete list of Addonics products that are Solaris Ready or
Verified, reference the following URL.

Additional information regarding Addonics and Sun[TM] USB compatibility can
be found at the Addonics web site below.

Comment: Please provide specific info on what devices are supported. Is the user getting any more info here than what is given at the sites you provided? This is too vague:

"any Addonics usb device conforming to a 'class' driver will most likely work with Solaris[TM] and the chances are very good if installed on a late model SUN computer."
