Re: [9fans] I/O load crashes Qemu

In fact it is definetly not a plan9 issue... If qemu fails hosting plan 9, it affects plan 9 but there is little to be done unless we communicate with the qemu dev team. Plan 9 is not the only os having problems with DMA access through qemu. I am myself a moron... All I know is that the issue

Re: [9fans] I/O load crashes Qemu

FPGA's are getting cheaper. A friend of mine got a nice Spartan III for less than us$50 Clock speeds are still behind the usual ASIC (lack of sleep might alter my grammar habilities), but I think they are ok for things like a java vm, or a nes emulator... Years ago I made a picoJava based

I am trying Eeepc... But I've had a lot of work lately, so I've fallen into the lunix dark side in the meanwhile. I think it is mostly an usb bootability matter. Eeepc ain't very exotic... On Mon, Jun 9, 2008 at 1:41 PM, matt [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Back in March people were trying the EEEPC
