I'm not sure whether this ARCSBIOS is the same as the "ARC console" the mips people talk about.

You can get it with 4MB third-level cache, and it has six PCI slots plus on-board SCSI and ethernet. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber naddy@mips.rhein-neckar.de carpe librum: books 'n' reviews To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
