Date: Sun, 05 Mar 1995 19:39:57 -0500 From: jha@cs.purdue.edu ("John H. Aughey") Sender: hackers-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I was browsing through the March 14 PC Mag and found an advertisement for a upgrade system that turns a 486 based machine into a dual-processor machine. It plugs into any 168-pin 486 CPU socket and provides bays for two chips. It provides up to 256K of zero-wait-state L2 cache for each engine and will run in single processor mode for non SMP OS's. (p 66) This advert sparked my interested in the progress of SMP in FreeBSD. I'd like to get a hold of anyone who's working on this. If that expansion module can do what it says, I might take this up as a pet project. --- John H. Aughey (Instructional Lab Administrator) jha@cs.purdue.edu
