I am sorry if my questions appear trivial. I am new to PowerPCs and
am quite lost. I do have a HardHat CDK1.2 cd and I have succeeded
in running linux on an ARM machine. I'm stuck at the PowerPC and
one of the things I'm lacking is hardware documentation.

The board I have has an embedded XPC860MHZP50C1 processor. Apart
from this a DRAM slot, a parallel port, 10BaseT slot, standard stuff, I
assume.

Does this mean that I can use MPC860 documentation without any major
differences?

Thank you once again.

regards,
Sid
