Grant, I wish it was that simple.

What you point out of about the V2500 seems
to be exact.

The V2200 has different memory hardware and
a different means for coherent semaphores.

My biggest mistake was to think that we can
go by the cpu version. There will have to be 
another way found.

HP-UX uses an external library for semaphores
to get it correct, at least sometimes.
The S... is getting deep.

What can be demonstrated at this moment is:

PA8500 - works (?)
PA8600 - broke
PA8700 - works
PA8800 - ???
PA8900 - broke (?)

The lack of documentation that would tell us
why does not mean we have given up though.

Mike
