Interesting. How do you differentiate the different Indigo R3K versions 
in the kernel? Do you think the firmware version might also have a play 
in this?

Just for the record, my Indigo R3K has the following firmware version:
```
>> version
PROM Monitor SGI Version 4.0 Rev A HP1,  Jul 18, 1991
```

Great, this one works like a charm:

Can't wait for your patches to be included in NetBSD! :-)

I am grateful to be able to run my Indigo R3K with a current OS 
(NetBSD). Thank you very much.

Cheers,
