Note that the ALR uses a custom (non-IMPS) bus. If
only because that's the only way to keep 4 pentium
CPUs in a cache-coherent state...
The documentation for this glue logic seems to be
very hard or impossible to find, some of the Linux
SMP hackers I know have tried to get it and came
up emptyhanded.
(though I have no idea why they'd want to keep
their old specs secret...)

Rik
