The one sitting in front of me is an xpc850. We're also running on 8260's of various flavors. Unfortunately, none of them are standard PC's. However, if the PowerPC in question has a well described board, it shouldn't be much of a problem. Others may have done more. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

Also, 8260 is an old Power Mac, right? ron ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

We just have boards that we or other parts of Lucent built all using 603e cores and that's what we support. The 8260 is a kitchen sink chip with various serial interfaces that can be microprogrammed into being different flavors of ether or serial controllers, an MMU, a 603e core, caches, etc. I really don't know what's in any of the MACs. I just went to the apple web pages and haven't been enlightened.
