Any 6152 gurus out there?  Here's a question:

We just put all our 6152's and the server RT on a subnet.  Ethernet suddenly
bombed, and we started applying the ethernet patches.  Then /etc/suspend
ceased to function.  Well, to make a long story short, I was messing around
with the PC-DOS boot program (boot.exe or unix.exe or whatever it's really
supposed to be called) to try to get it to work.

Option #16 intrigues me.  Number of coprocessors [1]?  I tried and it will
allow two as an answer.  Does this imply that a 6152 can handle two
coprocessor boards?  If so, has it been done?  Any gory details available?
I don't have the documentation available myself, but Steve looked thru a few
guides and couldn't find anything about it.

Anybody gots any comments?  ;-)

... Joe
