I will take a look at the package. I make no promised but if the port
looks not too excessive I will give it a shot.

On another topic. Dec is unloading AXPpci motherborads quite cheap. The
price we got for a purchase of 10 boards. was on the order of $250(US).
This was for a 266 Mhz CPU/Nocache/Nomem. I do not know what they will
sell them in small quantites for but it may be worth a try.
