Hi all,

as some of you might know the RC7500 is supported in NetBSD/arm32. However 
int he process of splitting arm32 into dnard and acorn32 the RC7500 is 
giving big trouble.

The RC7500 has a modified incompatible ARM7500 variant that i've never seen
elsewhere... basicly it has a incompatible vidc ... that means that lots of 
stuff about audio and video is different ....

I could split off the RC7500's video/audio system but i have no means to 
test it .... i dont have a RC7500 nor now anyone using it.

So my question basicly comes down to: should or shouldn't I preserve RC7500
support ?

It will remain in arch/arm32 for now but arm32's directory needs to be 
closed down one time ....

ANY idea's esp. from ppl still using the RC7500 are most welcome,

Cheers,
Reinoud
