I'm running MK77 UX37 now. Note that (at least my system) is a bit short of what I would consider "stable". > It sounds as though it's progressed a bit beyond what the HUT guys did with > it.

Both scsi chips are supported (at the moment the 6250 driver is more advanced than the dp8350 driver). I would want to check with JVH first but I could make *differences* available for ftp. I think he wanted to get the 532 support submitted to CMU before it becomes widely distributed. Making use of the diffs would still require you having supped MK77 and UX37 from cmu, the latter (still) requires an AT&T source licence. Be warned, that the whole thing is still not really very stable, nor is it easy to build/install/boot. Unless you are interested in doing some debugging, it is still not really "ready". Having said that, if you do have a source licence and you are interested and capable of doing kernel work, the more people working on it the better! Ian
