A quick search of my archives turned up this from last year:

time to once again gripe about Aurora 2.0 not supporting Ultra 80 (yes,
I know the E420 works headless and only 1.92)... and it would be nice
to have support for fiber channel... I wish I had the background to
help, but I don't...

Aurora 1.0 works with the U80 1 gig of ram and one processor but after
I maxed it out, it complained about not having enough memory ..

I just thought I would bring it up...

sorry to whine...

I was wondering about getting one myself recently but eventually went
with some pa-risc kit instead as Aurora support looked so patchy.

Cheers,
