Re: Linux and Cyrix

I've seen a couple of posts on non Intel chips. Dunno what's happining
with the Cyrix or AMD chips but I run the EMC stuff with steppers on a
Cyrix pr300 (M II-300GP 66MHz Bus 3.5x) with 64m memory and have no
problems. Well almost none. My mouse pointer tends to jump ocasionally in
afterstep. I use a no name motherboard and mouse so what should I expect.
