The IBM 704 is a multi-processor capable P6, right ?

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 !!!
