--00000000000047bc430612eaa79a Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" I have two iMac G5s: one single core with 2G RAM, the other dual core with 512M RAM. What is the maximum RAM that each will be able to use under FreeBSD? The project will be brltty on PPC64 and others that use a bootloader. PPC64 will be the initial setup. I have read through the config/configure file of the brltty source code. The open firmware references in the FreeBSD PPC64 were also read. Before I restart on the project, here is the basic information: Brltty configure will need to be rewritten to include the open firmware references. I have never used the FreeBSD version of the device tree referenced to as the "flattened device tree." The only use/ reference/ experience was directly accessing open firmware from the forth prompt. Currently, I have no braille devices here due to an extremely limited income. I'm going to do a port build and not a package setup of both computers. More RAM will need to be purchased. Because the computers are at someone else's place and that I need to purchase my own mobile dedicated network along with wireless dongles, this may take some time. I will inform you (pl) again when the next step or so is done. --00000000000047bc430612eaa79a Content-Type: text/html; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <div dir=3D"ltr">I have two iMac G5s: one single core with 2G RAM, the othe= r dual core with 512M RAM.<div>What is the maximum RAM that each will be ab= le to use under FreeBSD?</div><div>The project will be brltty on PPC64 and = others that use a bootloader.</div><div>PPC64 will be the initial setup.</d= iv><div>I have read through the config/configure file of the brltty source = code.</div><div>The open firmware references in the FreeBSD PPC64 were also= read.</div><div>Before I restart=C2=A0on the project, here is the basic in= formation:</div><div>Brltty configure will need to be rewritten to include = the open firmware references.</div><div>I have never used the FreeBSD versi= on of the device tree referenced=C2=A0to=C2=A0</div><div>as the "flatt= ened device tree."
