Mikasa aka AS1000 -> EV4 or EV45 There was a CPU board with a 300Mc EV5, for used in both Mikasa and Noritake EV56 is only in AS1000A, aka Noritake. But some AS1000A had EV4 CPUs. EV56 CPUs were called Primo(?). Just to confuse things further there are mainboards that can do EV4 and EV5 (easy check: has onboard VGA and SIMMs sockets for ECC SIMMs) and mainboard models that can only do EV5/56 (which lack the VGA and ECC simm sockets). Right... I hope I have now sufficiently confused everybody. %-) W/ -- Wilko Bulte Arnhem, the Netherlands wilko@freebsd.org http://www.freebsd.org http://www.nlfug.nl To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
