Hmmm..... So, IFF I am reading this correctly, I can pull the SQ706 out
of my BA123 MVIII critter, and a pair of its scsi drives, and directly
boot up the MV4000/200? That is assuming I use the generic kernel for
starters?
What sort of relative speedup would that give me, relative to the
3 VUP or so MVIII cpu?
The BA213 would limit me to two internal scsi drives, but I have a
2 gig and a 9 gig drive that I could plop in, assuming that would
make a relatively usable machine.
Anyone have a rom command list for the KA660 cpu? I will probably
need those.
Would the card order be the same as in the BA123 MVIII machine, i.e.,
serpentine, or is it straight across?
