I have a SparcStation 2 with an old GX board from a 20Mhz SS1 installed in it. When I run the utility fpversion (Included with the unbundled C compiler) on the SS2, it replies with A SPARC-based CPU is available. CPU's frequency appears to be 33.0 MHz. Sun-4 floating-point controller version 2 found. A TI 8847-based FPU2 is available. FPU's frequency appears to be 33.0 MHz. Use "-cg89" floating-point option. Is this correct? Could someone with an SS2 please run the utility to see if they get the same reply or the 40 Mhz that I would expect. I am worried that the system clock might have been slowed down to accomodate the old GX board which was made to operate at 20 rather than 25 Mhz. Bruce Allen

I am posting the answer to my own question here. If you do not have the updated version of fpversion, then you get the output shown above. The updated version of fpversion reports: A SPARC-based CPU is available. CPU's clock rate appears to be approximately 40.3 MHz. The clock rate is probably 40.0 Mz. Sun-4 floating-point controller version 2 found. A TI TMS390C602A-based FPU is available. FPU's frequency appears to be approximately 39.7 MHz. The clock rate is probably 40.0 Mz. Use "-cg89" floating-point option. Hostid=0x55406E4C. Thanks again to those who responded (and for the new version of fpversion!) Bruce Allen
