Although there still are some additional things which might need to be added, I will go through my HP-RISC ABI docs again. The main idea will be people who actually have access to such a beast, to start messing around with the hardware probes and getting specs for the hardware. I wish you luck, since HP isn't very forthcoming with technical information. [I am still struggling to get ahold of the J2970A NIC techdocs] If we continue this thread we probably need to relocate it to the appropriate hacker/tech lists.
