It's been a bear. BUT: AMD has been absolutely great to deal with. They just gave us a great deal of help getting things going on the GX2 platform. They sent down a BIOS engineer from colorado to work with us all week on the port. Just amazing. I am hoping, in the next two weeks, to be booting Plan 9 out of the BIOS FLASH part :-) (Which, BTW, will make Plan 9 my 9load replacement). ron
