Talk:MPC 5566

MD: Who is the intended audience for this page? Perhaps it is to provide Sales, Marketing, and Engineering Deos compatibility notes? If so, would it be helpful to add words explaining why certain statements are being made. For example:

"This processor does not have machine check support."

Why is the above significant?

AL: My intent was to have something that would facilitate rapid quote generation from engineering. My thought was that we'd have structured notes and use the wiki inclusion mechanism to make sure we had all the topics covered. E.g., the e200 core and the specific instances have different characteristics that will change over time as we implement stuff. I didn't want to have to go to a number of places to update info as we make kernel changes, or as we better understand the cores. I'm not convinced this approach will work, so at present the audience is "me" mainly because I wasn't sure what the significance of some of the items was as I read the manuals. To really see what sort of a mess I've created, you have to look at the source for the page(s).
