Does this mean that we will be able to support multi-processors soon? I'm based in London and have one of these machines in the office. However, I have eight of the machines in our Munich offices. I will probably go over sometime next week to work on them. Where in Germany are you?

I'm just preparing a set of patches for somebody to try, and the output from these patches ought to make it possible to fully support that system. You'll need a custom boot floppy and will have to apply a patch, but the next SNAP and release should work out of the box ... If anybody got the register map of the Orion chip set (especially the host to PCI bridge) and was willing to scan or FAX them to me, this would help a lot !!! Regards, STefan
