Subject: ANNC: MkLinux on Performa 52/53/62/6300 family



As of July 31, 2000, the PowerMac 5200/5300/6200/6300 family of
computers, and their Performa equivalents, are officially
supported in MkLinux.  Please NOTE that only the 6214 has been
tested, so there may be some small snags in some of the others.

CAVEATS:

* Sound is not supported yet.  That's the next priority....
* SCSI is working, but rather slow.  It's partially hardware
  at fault, and partially a lack of pseudo-DMA code.  Oh well.
  It "mostly works."  As always, your mileage may vary.
* Serial is untested.  It should work, but again, YMMV.

Note that this is bleeding edge development, and is not necessarily
stable.  It is, however, mostly working.  I expect that the last major
bugs will be ironed out in the very near future.

For more information, or to download experimental kernels, please see our
web site at http://www.mklinux.org or contact me directly.


Cheers,
David
