What does that exactly mean? That it does work but it is not
officially supported?
In principle, Linux/MIPS runs on the Maxine, but there is currently no
keyboard/mouse driver for the Personal DECstation series and there is
I can live without the driver since the machine will spend
most of its life in my closet and be accessed either through serial

some kernel bug, which causes the Debian installer to hang the kernel,
but _only_ on a Maxine. This bug does not appear on any other type
of DECstation. We have up to now not been able to find out what
exactly triggers this kernel bug.

How can I help track this bug? I will not claim to be the
most knowledgeable bloke in the machine, or black magic unix, but
anything I can do to help, let me know! =)
