Yeah, > I'm sure he won't mind. :-) There's a NoName here that's up and running and you're welcome to spam it. I just unboxed the Multia, and it needs some parts before it's usable (most significantly it needs a battery). Anyone with a spare 21066 or 21066A kicking around somewhere? John Birrell donated a couple of NoName boards to the Project, and one of them still needs a CPU. The system would then be available for loan to an Alpha developer looking for a scratch machine. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com
