else on the list had experiences with this board.
How about an alternative? What about the IBM CPC700 reference
platform with a 740?

There is already somebody booting a limping partial port to this
board using a 750.

Matt,
Thanks for the suggestion, but I've got some custom hardware that
I'm trying to find a close match for, and it has an MPC106 PCI
bridge/memory controller. The EST SBC740 board has an MPC106 as
well. Also, many PReP reference boards and PowerPC VME boards
(except for those from MCG, which use the Raven, etc.) use the
MPC106, so I'm hoping LinuxPPC running on one of these will be
similar.
The IBM boards use PCI bridge chips specific to IBM, as far as I
can tell. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong...
