I got the impression Transmeta did lots of testing real x86s in all sorts of corner cases, because the manuals don't cover everything that the broad base of software depends on in practice. Clone makers have to do it to a much higher standard than emulators because you can't generally release patches... I think Via (including whatever the CPU line was formerly called) have been bitten a few times by not quite matching software expectations. Even Intel was caught on x86_64 at the beginning by slight differences when they cloned AMD's design :-) -- Jamie -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-arch" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
