There are 50+ boards using the PPCBoot concept by now, and the number is growing every week.

Yeah, but there are lots more that don't use it, and people want to just pull those boards off the shelf and have those work as well. Quite frankly PPCboot is pretty good on 8xx, but not many of the other boards where people want to run Linux.

Just for the record: the last state I know of (I haven't looked into this for about two weeks) is:

	8xx  - 32 boards
	8240 -  3 boards
	8260 -  7 boards
	74xx -  1 board
	4xx  -  9 boards

PPCBoot is more than just 8xx by today.

Remember, PPCboot started from code I wrote long ago. It doesn't look much like it anymore, but I still have a personal interest in it's success :-).

That's good to know.

O, throw away the worser part of it,
And live the purer with the other half.
