Yes, the motherboard RAM is Z-III. In the mean time, I managed to test my patch on my A4000, and I have sent out a new and improved patch, cfr. https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20181207165011.31497-1-ge...@linux-m68k.org/ Gr{oetje,eeting}s, Geert -- Geert Uytterhoeven -- There's lots of Linux beyond ia32 -- ge...@linux-m68k.org In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that. -- Linus Torvalds
