Peter Wemm was using it in his old dual P5 without problem. This was with APIC code that did NOT support the DMA chaining INTs (at least not thru the 8259 PIC). The fact is that we have never supported them in the APIC code and no one has complained so far. Its just that I am about to go down a path that makes it "final" and want everyone to be aware. -- Steve Passe | powered by smp@csn.net | Symmetric MultiProcessor FreeBSD
