This may be a dumb question, but is there any reason to keep a fpa board
in a recently upgraded Sun4/280?  A local sales-critter says the fpa is
usable.  However, it isn't recognised on boot-up, (as in the boot message:
fpa0 at virtual e0000000) nor does there seem to be any support for the
fpa in the (old sun3) /usr/etc/fpa directory.  Is there any way to use
this board in a 4/280, or should we pull it and try to barter with it?  

    Thanks.
