Even this isn't entirely correct. I have four nice Geode based machines, one of which is still in daily service. Applications may not run on them. I was not able to get an appletalk server working well on one because of instruction set issues. I did not pursue the issue. I moved the appletalk server to a more modern (and faster and more capacious) machine. -- Does anybody read signatures any more? https://charlescurley.com https://charlescurley.com/blog/
