I googled for
myisam portability
and found:
http://mysqld.active-venture.com/MyISAM.html
The following is new in MyISAM (for MySQL 3.23):
All data is stored with the low byte first. This makes the data
machine and OS independent. The only requirement for binary
portability is that the machine uses two's-complement signed
integers (as every machine for the last 20 years has) and IEEE
floating-point format (also totally dominant among mainstream
machines). The only area of machines that may not support binary
compatibility are embedded systems (because they sometimes have
peculiar processors).

Thanks. I guess that means they are generally 64-bit and big endian
safe? Do you know about other architectures? (Roadster does not use
InnoDB tables.)
I was trying to find something on the MySQL site that had this info, but
I failed.
