Hello, my name is Robert Dailey. I recently came into posession of a =
MIPS ARCsystems Magnum 4000PC-50, and have yet come to find any
documentation on it at all, well, untill I just saw it on =
http://www.netbsd.org Anyhow, I am far from a programmer of any sorts, =
I can barely handle "Hello, world!" in C and PERL, but I am willing to =
help all I can. As I have metioned, I have the machine, with 10 gigs of =
SCSI storage and 256 megs of memory, and a 3COM509B-TPC 10mbit ethernet =
card. I have the ability to have it co-located at a farily large ISP in =
the Pittsburgh, Pa. area. I would be more than happy to help test the =
software,
and one of my friends is also learning MIPS architecture programming at =
the University of Pittsburgh, so he can be of some help. Also, as I =
mentioned before, I have no documentation on this machine. I can't even =
get it booted up. There is some kinda red LED on the motherboard that =
flashes numbers and letters at me, which I do not understand. If you =
have any information on these codes, it would be great, right now I am =
getting a "9" when I power on the machine.
Thank you for your time, and I hope I can help be a part of this =
porting. I am an Openbsd and Freebsd admin, as well as an MCSE, so I am =
not a complete newbie. Let me know whats up.
