I think this was originally aimed at MIPS systems, and I do think it would make sense to post questions about a DEC 5810 to comp.sys.dec, and about SGI boxes to comp.sys.sgi. For instance, it certainly makes no sense to post questions like "Does Ultrix release xxx on the 5810 do such and such?" here. On the other hand, it's probably not unreasonable to post questions here that are generic to the use of MIPS systems, software, or chips, and maybe sometimes crosspost them to the comp.sys.* group of the system you're using, if you are. Note: this is my OPINION; I didn't start this newsgroup.... -- -john mashey DISCLAIMER: UUCP: {ames,decwrl,prls,pyramid}!mips!mash OR mash@mips.com DDD: 408-991-0253 or 408-720-1700, x253 USPS: MIPS Computer Systems, 930 E.
