AFAIK anywhere you see inb/outb/inw/outw you're fairly certain to be i386 specific. (This from listening to the netbsd lits.) > I am not going to comment on the rest (I don't know enough about it). I've obviously only touched on the tip of the iceberg. Continued reading of the source shows large amounts of stuff (well, by percentage of the stuff I've read) that could/should be re-organized. We've got sys/i386/scsi with very little in it, no sys/i386/net and a lot of junk in sys/i386/isa/ic which should be in sys/ic or sys/dev/ic or something. I suppose I should steel myself and just ignore all of this as I've no time to task against doing anything towards resolving my complaints. /* Matthew N.
