How many existing PPC-based machines incorporate one of those kitchen-sink southbridge chips like the VIA VT82C686B that are normally found in x86-based machines?
A lot of them. Hardware developers for high-end PPC embedded designs like them as a way to get UARTs, PIC, and IDE in one dirt-cheap package. Software developers hate them because they are evil. -- Matt Porter MontaVista Software, Inc. mporter@mvista.com ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
