I have both a VME (MVME-2603) and a couple MBX boards, and would like
to HELP on the LinuxPPC stuff.

I will have a Motorola PowerStack box in the next week or so, and plan
to use it for a development host.

Im looking for the right people to contact, documentation (even crumbs
of documentation), and what mailing list to subscribe to.

Thanks.

Mike

What I'm interested in is a board with a PowerPC CPU, a to of RAM,
network booting, and a 100BT interface. A simple board with just a memory
bus and a 100BT interface would be dirt cheap to make and could run at a
very high bus speed.
This is no other than the ideal slave machine for clusters. With one
master bootp server, a switch, and a couple dozen of these slaves you have
a cluster which is cheap to upgrade, cheap to run, and easy to maintain.
Just load the new software on your shared volume and rsh * reboot.
Slave CPUs don't need a monitor, hard drive, or keyboard. All you pay
for is silicon!
