    Sun Happy Meal Card???

    So we all know that Sun is a cool company with a great sense of humor, but they really outdid themselves when they named this combination SCSI / Ethernet card Happy Meal!

    It’s a pretty old card, and honestly I had forgotten that I had installed it in my test system until I setup REL 3 on it last week. For some reason, the Red Hat installer wanted to remove the device before adding it back in. Luckily I had my camera with me when I saw the hardware detection message pop up.

      [...] My Sun T2000 is here, and with Cliff’s help it’s now patched, configured, and online. (Aside: what’s a Sun Happy Meal?) [...]

      The reason the Sun network interfaces are called HMC(happy meal card) is because they are based on the “Big MAC chipset”. Seriously.
