But here it is, via this page http://www.firmworks.com/www/ieee.htm I got to ftp://playground.sun.com/pub/p1275/coredoc/ where the coredoc is downloadable (it is old, but better then nothing), no idea why there are no pointers to it.. If someone has any newer documentation pls let me know, the system I use is from 2004. Grts, Ingmar ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread

Not the chrp OF bindings, but the real CHRP specs ? I believe you've seen this before, but the link is still in the same place... http://penguinppc.org/otherhw/#chrp As I recall, though, the CHRP specification mandates such obsolete features as an ADB controller, so claiming "CHRP compliance" may not be all that special these days. :) -Hollis ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread
