Ayuh. Glad I'm not the one to do it. > Speaking from the perspective of "IBM help". What'cha need? Perhaps I > might be able to first find it and second get permission to send it your > way. Adam Fritzler appears to be the smart guy regarding the confluence of MCA and PPC. Though he's pretty heavily loaded with Token-Ring issues, IIRC. I suspect technical (HW- and register-level) docs for any PowerPC MCA RS/6000 boxen would do it. But I don't know who should get it. Someone with time, C skills and the appropriate hardware COULD raise their hand and describe their platform(s)... MCA platforms I've seen so far on LPPC-WS (dupes are likely): RS/6k 250 7011, 7012, 7013 PowerPC models PowerPC 42T RS/6k Mdl C10 It would seem like the best tack would be to go after the MCA PowerPC boxen with an MCA port and a bootloader. Once that's working one could then start playing with POWER's different MMU and instruction set. Someone said that the PowerPC compiler can generate POWER code. And I counted about 5 people with boxes expressing serious interest in running Linux. I don't count, as I don't kernel-hack or own any IBM RISC hardware. BTW, any word on those PPC IBM NetFinity boxen's hardware?
