No such thing. Since the board pin-out is documented in section 2.2.2.16 of the AXPpci33 manual, you can easily verify if the cable is correct, check out alternative cables, or solder your own. http://www.linuxalpha.org/docs/pci33dg.pdf -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber naddy@mips.inka.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
