If Jack is out of the picture on SMP I can start the basics of it rolling. I have been putting off on getting the dual PCI/ISA version of the ASUS board for a week now to try and help Jack with getting some code he is having problems with up and running. I already own the CPU chips, so this is not that large of a cash outlay for me. I know Jack put quite an effort into just getting the second CPU to start up and from my last communications with him he had still not got it to switch into protected mode. > Anyway, thanks for representing us here, Justin, and thanks for the > summary! Yes, thanks Justin! And think, just a year ago you where a big time OS/2 fan, and now look at what your doing!!! I have to say you have come a long long way since I first meet you! -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation Company Custom computers for FreeBSD
