Subject: Does Plan9 support NCR53c810 ?

Hi,

Another question first off:

Well, some time ago I've read that you can make a Unix box to a
dedicated Plan9 file server and hook up several Plan9 workstations
onto the same Ethernet as the file server.  Is this still supported?
I glanced through the web pages at ftp://plan9.att.com/plan9/* and
couldn't find any hints on that.  What I have here is a Unix box and a
Pentium connected via Ethernet, and I wonder if that would be
possible.  And how would I go about it?

[ The program u9fs is still supplied, so you can export Unix filesystems
to plan 9. The difficulty is how to set up the authentication -- mod ]

But if that doesn't work, could I install Plan9 onto the Pentium?
This is a PCI system with a NCR PCI-to-SCSI bridge. 53c810 based.

Thanks, -Arnulf
