Hi,

we have 47 MIPS system types and I'd like to get an overview how alive
they really are. I've already grouped the 47 systems a little bit by
hardware I already own and regulary test kernels. Could you please
give me some feedback about the "unclassified" systems ? What systems
are supported by qemu (real test not just repeating qemu docs) ?
Thank you for your help.

Thomas.

Hardware I own and regulary boot current kernels:

Jazz family of machines (MACH_JAZZ)	/* runs with qemu */
SGI IP22 (Indy/Indigo2) (SGI_IP22)
SGI IP27 (Origin200/2000) (SGI_IP27)
SGI IP28 (Indigo2 R10k) (SGI_IP28)
SGI IP30 (Octane/Octane2) (SGI_IP30) 
SGI IP32 (O2) (SGI_IP32)
SNI RM200/300/400 (SNI_RM)

Hardware I own, but not booted for a while:

Texas Instruments AR7 (AR7)
Cobalt Server (MIPS_COBALT)
DECstations (MACH_DECSTATION)
Lantiq based platforms (LANTIQ)
Ralink based machines (RALINK)
Sibyte BCM91480B-BigSur (SIBYTE_BIGSUR)
