Hmmm. Line 530 of esp.c in the linux-mips-2.0.21 kernel says
case esp100:
return "Sparc ESP100 (NCR53C90)";
That looks like a start. I wonder if the chip in the Magnum 4000 is the 53C90
or
another rev. I looked in my 4000 SC and it's got a Western Digital chip.
Ryan, please relay this message to linux-mips@fnet.fr.
