Adam, I'm afraid I have to disappoint you. A small patch hasn't made
it into Paul's 2.1.14.2.dec Kernel and your BogoMIPS reading is by
factor of 1.5625 to high. Change HZ in include/asm-mips/param.h to 64
and you should get a "real BogoMIPS"(tm) reading of 24.97 (just
kidding ;-)).

This I/O Module-IOCTL ASIC is the glue logic, that holds the I/O
Subsystem together. *All* I/O Ports on the IOASIC DECstations
(5000/xx, 5000/1xx and 5000/2x0) are addressed through this ASIC and
it even supports DMA-Channels for the SCSI, Ethernet and Serial
Ports.
The Manual I've mentioned seems to be worth a look.
Keep hacking,
Harald
