I bought one intending to get it supported.  Except I could never get  
any
technical information from Genesi about it so I went on to other things.

My questions where mostly on how the Pegasos boards used the MPP pins
on the Discovery/DiscoveryII system controller and what was attached to
each device bus and where.  There are 32 MPP pins used for inputs,  
outputs,
interrupts, NMI, watchdog, timers, and other assorted purposes.  Knowing
how these pins are used is critical in writing the board dependent  
support.
