Dear Kernel-Hackers,
I've just gotten the source code (assembly) for the system extensions
for my Carrera 040 accelerator and I've got a cross-compiler set up on my
HP box to compile NetBSD. I'm going to try to do some kernel hacking to
start up the accelerator on my little Mac IIcx (it's a little faster
with the accelerator, 16Mhz '030 vs. 90Mhz '040). So, two questions:
1. I'm unsure of the status of the processor by the time it hits the
START symbol in the locore.s file. Is the computer in 32-bit mode
or not?
2. If anyone is interested to helping in creating or testing this kernel,
please let me know. E-mail is ijonglin@ee.princeton.edu.
