Thank you much for your comments on my dual ROSS CPU questions. I have
already upgraded the Open Boot Prom to v2.25R, and it works great with a 180
MHz single processor. (I have some great tips on this, if anyone else is
doing this).
My concern, ultimately, is that I am hearing various things about dual
processor configs above 150 MHz; most disconcerting, that this config may
simply not work at all. I've also hear 'digital legend' that the SS10 power
supply will not supply this much iron.
Does anyone have specific experience with a 150+ MHz dual CPU config?
Many thanks in advance.
