That's what I meant when I said _the_ one RM400 doensn't exist. ;-)

Pity I can get only one machine and I'd like to keep it for myself. ;-))
So I suppose I have to become a kind of kernel hacker myself.
I hope it doesn't hurt too bad. ;-\
Speaking of documentation: When I was on the CeBIT in Hannover, I asked
the RM400 people at the Siemens booth for developer documentation and they
told me that documentation should be shipped with the machine.
Is Siemens documentation _that_ comprehensive or didn't the salesmen realize
what kind of docu I was asking for?
Thanks,
