This means where the cache is controlled by the R5000 itself in contrast to some external external cache controller. The difference is important because, unlike other systems, especially PCs, on MIPS the cache is architecturally visible and needs to be controlled by software. ---Snap--- The machine seems seems to have Secondary unified cache. Could anyone confirm that this machine is not supported. Here is some more info, I do not have access to the machine. 1 180 MHZ IP22 Processor FPU: MIPS R5000 Floating Point Coprocessor Revision: 1.0 CPU: MIPS R5000 Processor Chip Revision: 2.1 On-board serial ports: 2 On-board bi-directional parallel port Data cache size: 32 Kbytes Instruction cache size: 32 Kbytes Secondary unified instruction/data cache size: 512 Kbytes on Processor 0 -- Randall H.
