Re: [parisc-linux] One more step: Interruption (trap) 18 on 9000/720

Hello, again.

What does this `SPIFI' mean?
Is this a name of a person, or a technical expression, ... ?

I read something at the E55 of "undocumented drivers" and so

in helping writing drivers for that E55, as I really want to use
it inclusive all 8 serial ports and SCSI !

With friendly regards
	Christoph
