Has anyone familiar with Sun 386i (150/250) managed to get 'top' and 'sps' running on these machines ? Please reply in this newsgroup or via email.

For top, you first need to make sure that you have version 2.5. It is (currently) the only version that will work under SunOS 4.0 or later. But even that version won't work on a 386i. The problem with both top and sps stems from what is in my opinion a poor decision on the part of the 386i people: all external names in the kernel do NOT have leading underscores. Fixing this in top is relatively easy: just find the struct nlist definition in "top.c" and remove all the underscores from the label names. Then remake. You can try this trick with sps as well, but there could very well be other problems that prevent sps from working. Sps does alot more kernel mucking than top does.
