Hey again Eric;
I cc'd this to debian-powerpc, anyone out there on the list got better information
on the 7012 320H? I can't find a shred of documentation! :(
That definitely sounds like a POWER or POWER2 processor, possibly an m68k. There's
pretty good MCA support in the 2.2.x kernels currently, but it's still a little
broken (or a lot broken! ;) on some specific machines, probably. If anyone's got
more information, could you pass it along? Thanks! :)
