all this mips talk while i was absent. we used the mips a lot in the pathstar project, 0[cal] is the tool set for 64bit little endian guys. we didn't run plan9 - the linecards ran either inferno or lcos. i can't remember the numbers but i believe the main devices were the 4700 and the 7000.
a plan9 port/updated port would involve the usual memory management nightmares but not much else. i did a quick port to the PS2, which has 128 bit registers and restricted floating point. e[cal] is the tool set, but may not be in the distribution. 3[cal] is the tool set for the IO processor (BE 3000?). (this was an inferno.) i like the mips - should be more of them out there. brucee
