[geeks] Linc is cool

Heh, I'm the one of those getting the O2 working <Grin>.  Origin 200 also
mostly works, however newer hub ASICs have some quirk that prevents them
booting for now.  I can guarentee that at some time the o2 will be fully
supported, however that may take a while.  I take it you're on the oss
mips list?  Are you intrested in helping with the o2 port?  We can get o2
docs which is almost unheard of, includeing onboard ethernet (I'm working
on that now), PCI (wesolows is working on that), video, sound,
everything.  However as I said, the official line from SGI is that all
Indigo and earlier docs have been "lost", and no real effort will be put
towards finding them.
