Russel, are you really saying that a general question of the form 'is this
machine supported at all?' is off-topic for this list and should go to the
kernel list? Surely such general questions are best asked here and only if we
start to discuss the details does it become an arm-kernel issue.
If you really think this should have gone stright to arm-kernel I think
you'll have to explain why (at least to me).
On a related point. I've been asked about the 'Idea NC'

This sounds like an Acorn-derived NC to me, but I don't know. Does anyone
else? And if so is there any support known of?
