I think Samsung asked for an NDA and : I'm not sure if DeskStation even replied. Stefan would know for sure; : since I don't think he reads this list, I have Cc'ed him. Good luck getting information out of DeskStation. They tend to swing from being almost a little helpful to being completely unhelpful and unresponsive. They provided me with almost no help in the way of specs and the like for the rPC44 port of OpenBSD/Linux I did. However, the support they did give me was enough to get things up and crawling. I'll give you the entire sum of the support: The ISA bus is memory mapped at 0xa0000000. The ISA ports are memory mapped at 0xb0000000. It is basically a PC MOBO with a mips processor bolted on. I had no better luck calling them directly. However, they say on their website they support Linux, and are looking for a Linux OS engineer (but they have been looking for at least the past year, so maybe their website is on auto-pilot). Ironically, I did get mail from them asking me for help installing OpenBSD/arc on their systems! After giving them the help, I never heard back from them. I don't think the person who I was working with is there anymore. Warner To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
