#3 lore raw
Quoted 5 lines · Eric Jorgensen

On a completely unrelated note - out of curiosity I pulled the heatsink
off the cpu in my system - Never seen a mips 4k processor before. Anyway, I was surprised to find the word "PROTOTYPE" emblazoned acrost the chip. Is this common? Or do I have something really cool/funky here? if anybody wants to see, I have a digital camera here.

Maybe some long time MIPSer can tell something about this chip? Is this the CPU version which identifies itself as version 2.2 which is the oldest I've ever seen?

Thanks,

Ralf

#4 lore raw

We have an Indy (one of the earlier) that identifies itself as version 2.2. I've never pulled the heat sink off though...
