The > only 586-class non-Intel CPU out there is the K6 (K5 too?), right? BTW, I've just ordered a motherboard and 166Mhz K6 for the resurrection of thud. I could have resurrected thud a couple of weeks ago, actually, but the idea of bringing it back as a 486DX2 just didn't really thrill me too much so I figured we'd take this opportunity to build a non-Intel FreeBSD box and get a faster build/test machine at the same time. Maybe once it's up and running, you and bde can decide how best to support it. :-) Jordan
