Hi Henk!

I'm afraid I can't help you too much since I haven't received my board yet.
(hope to get it this week). But the dealer I'll get my board from
(PC Preis in Aachen) hasn't got any documentation either :-( BUT I'll
get the board plus a case, so hopefully all those things are already
connected and I can tell you the layout of the connectors. No info
about jumpers and such, however...

I posted your mail to linux-alpha, hope you don't kill me for that.
Can anybody out there help us?

As to MILO, it currently doesn't support the Jensen. But perhaps somebody
is going to port it.

To linux-alpha: What docs would one need to be able to port MILO to the
Jensen? How about availability through the net/from DEC?
