I see no reason to even try this - except for the technical challenge of
course.

Thats good news, and I hope to be one of these customers soon.... after getting
my Sun3 setup with the latest NetBSD.

Now that is interesting, I recall a discussion about this a while back either
here or on comp.sys.mips. So how would it work - can't remember what the
outcome was. I have no technical docs on the 4000 series Magnums - though have
the origional tech docs for the R3000 Magnums (which I also have one of).
