[Qemu-devel] Re: SPARC emulation

[Hetz Ben Hamo <hetz@witch.dyndns.org>]

Hi,

The Google Groups idea was bad, because there's an NNTP gateway for the 
QEMU mailing list, and there's the mailing list itself, and you can 
browse it..

I'm CC'ing this mail to the development mailing list, where all the 
action happends ;)

Thanks,
Hetz
