I can't say for sure, because the MIPS ports seem to have taken longer to get going than some of the others, but if it's anywhere, it is in the NetBSD arch/mips tree. I have seen talk of support for the Acer PICO recently, and since both it and your NEC are ARC machines, you might be lucky. Have a look at http://www.netbsd.org/ and comp.unix.bsd.netbsd.misc anyway. -- Andrew "The question of whether a computer can think is no more interesting than the question of whether a submarine can swim" - Edsgar W.
