It has been pointed out to me that 'Brazil' is the successor
to plan9 that I was thinking about, not Inferno.

Source availability is a good point, though, and I assume it
applies to Brazil as well.

Has any information been made available about Brazil as yet?

are there some actual users actually outside the labs

No, seems too late for going now, I'll take an airplane :-)

Seriously: After Rob Pike was spreading the "good news" last year that
Plan 9 will be made publicly available, I'm curious what the Bell Labs
guys have to tell us this time.  Maybe something about Brazil ...?

If I recall, a 16552 is a pair of 16550-style UARTs plus a parallel
port in a single plastic quad flat pack.  PC makers like it because it
puts the usual PC I/O complement on one chip.  I haven't seen many
"16550" serial cards lately that actually use '550s.  Most are using
integrated components like the '552.

Just as a matter of interest what is the difference between a 16552 and
a 16550? I never heard of the 16552.

	I'm sorry. I did a "fast" read and only saw the 16450 code.
Was my mesage duplicated? I see you have sent two answers. I only sent one
message and, curiously, received my own message through the list, something
that didn't happen before.


	Borja.

Oh great.  It looks like sub-rosa.com has three MX records, and the first
two machines are down.  But a test message I just sent to the voting
address did seem to be accepted by the final mail exchanger machine. 

Anyone who's having trouble with the voting address, please try again, and
let me know.  I'll try to alert the votetaker about the problem.

I'd recommend not moderating comp.os.plan9.  If the volume increases
sufficiently, then you change the single group to a hierarchy and
maybe moderate parts of that hierarchy.

Unfortunately it might be some time before a newsgroup could get going;
there's a big backlog of proposed newsgroups now. (I'm one of the Usenet
Volunteer Votetakers.) I'd be glad to do the legwork for comp.os.plan9 (or
whatever the name should be), though I'm certainly not qualified to be a

I personally hate it when people talk to you like this.  You know like
your OLD grandpa, telling you (his grandson) a "lesson", that you do
not want to hear...

But, then again, we could expect an arrogant question, but NO ANSWER,
in return, could we not?

[ Asbestos Longjohns OFF ]

I would have appreciated an answer :-)
