MIPS R2k/3k machines....
Look for "The mips programmers refenence manual". (Faquar and Bunce ?) ( R2000 / R3000 )
"The MIPS RISC architecture". (Kane ?) ( mentions R4000 but contrates on the R2000 / R3000 )
Both books were availible recently.
I have both books at home, (I do complete crap in windoze for a living), also look at xspim and spim the
simulator for the R2000, R3000. Think it was on sunsite...
Hope this helps..
PS. Anyone got a spare motherboard for a DS3100 ?

Hi,

I too, like the several other people, want to help port Linux to
the older 2k and 3k systems BUT like all the others I am hindered by a total LACK of documentation. I did manage to find one nice chap who

me some docco. but unfortuantely it was for the R4Ks, however...
I assume you only refer to the system documentation. The CPU documentation
is available for free from {sgigate,www}.sgi.com and a couple of Mips silicon manufacturers like {ftp,www}.idt.com and others more.

Does ANYONE have ANY technical INFORMATION which might be of use
to all of us port of linux.No matter how small, silly or whatever I'd like to hear about it.
I asked some people at SGI and they'll try to dig out what still exists. Somebody came up with a quite nice link for owners of historic SGI machines. Check out the site, there is a link to it on www.linux.sgi.com.
