yes that could be fine to be more accurate in the FAQs/docs.
I bought some Ross cpu's just by reading that all modules where working 
SMP...and discovered it's far from being thruth.
Well  I guess most people used to ss10/20 know about the possible 
pecularities of Ross modules It's in fact  an excellent
opportunity to hack and learn.
With current I got  2x100mhz and 2x166 mhz to boot but the system wasn't 
stable.

About docs: why the lack of Ross papers. (at least the ones easily 
available from the web.archive.org...) on the
NetBSD sparc page ? (as a comparison: I'm a big fan of HP 9000 and when 
it comes about running/hacking say ....linux on
them, I can get all HP docs on parisc-linux.org....).
