I thought BigSur was a Sibyte platform? I do care about that one.

Big Sur has been rather popular name for things:

o an early dual-processor Itanium system from Intel
o a PMC-Sierra FPGA-based platform. It was deleted a while ago except the network driver for it. This is what my question was about.
o Broadcom's BCM1480-based Big Sur
o A wireless chipset

I blame so much of the industry being located in California for it :)

I don't care above the above.

If you haven't been there, you should take time out to visit it next time you visit The Bay Area. It's been 20 years or so since I was last there but the drive along highway 1 South from Monterey to San Simeon is unforgettable.

Cheers,
James
