There is something moving, but I only see "F" on the small LCD. Can you tell me more about this little LCD? F seems rather early, but when I remove the CPU I get "0". > Unfortunately, I can't run ANY OS on this machine. > - Linux for this architecture was broken since early 2.2 kernel... > - The OpenBSD/arc port has been discontinued after the 2.3 release. > - To build a NetBSD/arc I need to install a full NetBSD cross > development on the i386 host. Cross compiling NetBSD doesn't sound like a huge problem. I would even cope with RISC/os if necessary. mfg Dennis -- There is certainly no purpose in remaining in the dark except long enough to clear from the mind the illusion of ever having been in the light.
