Hi Jonathan, with regards to ARM, I know that ARM has sort of split into the different archs of it. It used to be one group but they are now concentrating on their various arm chip-sets.
I've asked the following yes, I know I'll get told off :) But, please hear me out.... I understand > that there is not an 'ARM' team as such, for people interested in ARM - > where should they head? (It's a genuine question as to how QEMU can work to > give people a taste of ARM before spending 'real' money on the kit). I await a reply. Regards, Phill.
