Included:
Changes to make machtype work on a pmax.
I already had this; please coordinate PMAX work with me to avoid
duplicating work.
Changes to make machtype understand scsi drives on pvax and pmax
Thanks.
Changes to make machtype print the memory on a workstation
[see my last message to bugs]
Thanks.
The format of the output is (on a pmax):
% machtype -c
R2000a KN01 rev 1
This is NOT the right thing. Look at what machtype prints on VAXen and
RT's. It is important that it be one token (for update processing &
such). My version currently prints 'KN01'; the VAX and RT versions have
never printed out cpu rev #'s and such...maybe this is something we
want, but it should be consistent across all platforms and regression
tested against all software.
% machtype
mipsel
This is still being debated; however, I think that mipsel is better than
mips (although decmips would be better).
