Furthermore, is is no such thing as "the RM400". There are several models with wildly different CPU and bus configurations, from the ancient R3000 and ISA bus based Model 05 (one of which it setting under my desk) to the latest models with (iirc) several R1x000 CPUs. The only ones ever supported were the R4000 ones with EISA (or PCI?), if I recall correctly Regards, Florian
