There is going to be more commercial Linux/MIPS rsn. Linux will control
NMR systems, including medical systems and systems for long time measurements
where failure is no option. In those systems Linux will be the successor
of a modified Risc/OS 4.51 version. Stay tuned for details ...

That's yet another type of machine. I've ported Linux to the SNI RM200C;
it should also run on the RM300. The R400 is a SMP machine and I don't
have any data about it at all. In fact, since so far nobody was so
generous to loan me a SMP box there isn't even MIPS SMP yet ...
But here is what _you_ can do: Call SNI and have a bit fun nervragging them
for Linux. There are so many very different MIPS machines out there that
reverse engineering isn't a real option unless you solve the problem of
human immortability before :-(
