The IP26 should be fairly similar to IP28 (Indigo2 R10000), it also=20
supports >384MByte RAM (the limit of IP22, R4x00 Indigo2).

As soon as my G4 finished building RC1, i can have a look at the=20
documentation i have at these issues. unfortunately, i do only have the=20=

public-accessable from sgi and other sources, but i'll put them on my=20
webserver anyway.

that is no problem at all. but first, i should get another HD into this=20=

machine, the original is horribly loud (i.e. the ball bearing is crap=20
;)
