Re: [parisc-linux] 800/G30, G50, E55 Support?

He, that's interesting:

See link:
	http://www.mkg.sfc.keio.ac.jp/support/FAQ/README

Here a copy and paste out of it:

2.2 MIPS

RT-Mach and 4.4BSD Lite server for MIPS-based Sony NEWS workstation
currently support the following devices.

        CPU:    R4400 (and compatibles).
        Devices:Built-in Serial (Zilog 85230 ESCC)
                Built-in SCSI (HP SPIFI)
                Built-in Ethernet (Sony SONIC)
                Video Board (NWB-1102)
                Keyboard
                Mouse

It seem as they support the SPIFI of HP !
I have not downloaded yet. I have to register and I want to read around
that stuff.
I also does not know, if this is a source snapshot.
But perhaps it can help .....

Cheers
	Christoph
