So i'm just a little confused.. : : The DS5500 is a r3000/r3010?fpu @ ?30Mhz is beleive, it lists : other machines as supported, so I just wanted to get clarification.. The 5500 is a QBUS based machine, based on a VAX system. About the only thing it has in common with any of the other (supported) DEC/MIPS machines is it's CPU chipset. Don't look for support for this machine for a long while yet :-( The 5900 is pretty much a 5000/240 in a rack mount cabinet.
