Interesting box, to say the least... > Certainly sounds interesting. Back a couple of years a friend (electronics guru) and I wanted to do some PP'ing for a little astronomy project. It never eventuated but we were thinking of a tying the 6 odd 486's together directly via a pci to pci circuit. We wanted SPEED though so we tossed around the idea of direct pc/pc communication via SIMM sockets. Idea being, chunk of ram for local processing, starting on a SIMM boundary a circuit (running at cpu bus speed) to communicate with the other pc's. All highly unlikely, but logic didn't enter into it back then :) Cheers...

At some stage I got the slient reboot aswell. So now world builds are happily crunching away on the p90 32mb which was sitting right next to it :)The p90 is actually in a NX (Neptune) chipset board, so once I source a 2nd p90 I'll be trying dual cpu builds :) /me looks at the bunch of 386 mobo's... lets not go there.. :) Kent Ibbetson [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
