Can you provide cold boot and other programming : info? Terry, I think that you can get most of the information that you need from the ARCBIOS spec. Unfortunately, these are rather hard to come by. The Linux croud is doing well w/o a whole lot of information about their machines (I know that my MIPS box has almost no docs, and very little technical support). If you have one of these boxes, you should contact that list (linux-mips@fnet.fr). They have made great progress on the Magnums, which are, if memory serves, an Olivetti machine. They have people with that machine and they have docs from Olivetti. Maybe you can get docs from them? Drop me a line if you are interested... Warner
