Sorry, QED. Thought the Rm7000 was the first thing QED produced on their
own.
The Qube design actually changed quite a bit in progress. The Qube
initially had a 21042, then 21142 chip but I think they reverted to the
10mbit for the production version. I'm not shure if it's still a chip
of the Tulip family. Also there was a NCR53C810 on at least preproduction
versions. The chipset used is a different one from Galileo. It's the In
any case Linux on the P-4032 was the first step to get this thing running.
I should mention that Cobalt did their P-4032 port independent from my
P-4032 work.
