The machines are in Cambridge (UK) And from what I have learned are PCI and still running - Me getting my hands on the hardware depends on the speed at which the company which has them can migrate to server 2003. I am still waiting on detailed specs and the actual machines themselves, all I know is that the RM300 is supposedly faster than the RM400.
Hope that helps, Nick. -----Original Message----- From: Ralf Baechle [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 22 January 2005 01:52 To: Nick Davidson Subject: Re: RM300 / RM400 hardware On Fri, Jan 21, 2005 at 08:40:16AM -0000, Nick Davidson wrote: > It seems like I may get my hands one of each fairly soon, as made by > fujitsu siemens and bought sometime in 95 and I am aware that debian / > linux doesn't fully support these machines.

I'm maintaining the Linux kernel for the RM200 C and due my hardware dying I could use a replacement fairly urgently. Note I only received hardware documentation for the RM200 / RM300 C models and I'm not sure how different others variants of the RM family are, so what model variants are those, do you know if they have EISA and / or PCI bus, what processors? The C variant which currently is supported has both EISA and PCI and R4600 processors. The older B version which yours might be only has EISA and usually came with R4400 processors. Also, where are those machines located? Thanks, Ralf ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.
