Hi,
I posted some patches and submitted PR about Cyrix issue
more than one month ago. I've not received any response
from core people, so I recognized it as an end of Cyrix
support of NetBSD. I bought new system and now using
Celeron for my NetBSD box.
I was using my Cyrix with NetBSD 1.5B current with my patch
in PR I posted. There was no panic for me. Sorry Jukka for
not replying your mail on this mailing list at Jul 7. I've
started reading this mailing list today.
Anyway, today, I checked port-i386 mailing list and found
there are some issues about Cyrix problem. Wow. However, I
have already bought new system and moved on it.
So, here is a Cyrix 686 PR 200 (66MHz x 2.5) and ABIT TX5.
I don't need these anymore, so I'd like to donate these to
somebody working on NetBSD group with a hope who may change
NetBSD i386 port to support Cyrix again. I'll pay for
shipping if the destination is in U.S. I don't donate any
memory, but this TX5 supports SIMM and DIMM, so you can use
your SDRAM temporary to debug on this machine.
I have an AT mini tower case in which I used above system.
I can give this with above if he/she pays actual shipping.
I have Cyrix MII 300 (66MHz x 3.5) also. I'm planing to put
this on eBay to get $20 or more, but I can sell this here at
$20 with no extra shipping with above.
Please let me know who want to take these. I don't need any
guarantees that he/she will change NetBSD to support Cyrix.
However, I need some kinds of guarantees that he/she is
actually working for NetBSD.
Regards,
