Re[2]: emc & rtlinux questions and suggestions

["Terry L. Ridder" <terrylr-at-blauedonau.com>]

hello;

i have linux-2.4.0-test9, rtlinux-3.0-pre8,
& emc-0.9-25 working on the intel platform.
that is running on the intel pentium 233mhz
box which is linux-mandrake-7.1 with updates.

i _do_ _not_ have linux-2.4.0-test9,
rtlinux-3.0-pre8, & emc-0.9-25 working on
the alpha platform.

i *do* have linux-2.4.0-test9 & emc-0.9-25
running on the alpha but without rtlinux-3.0-pre8
emc dies.

the alpha is running redhat-6.2 for the alpha.

i have been working on folding the changes to emc
and rcslib i made for the alpha and the intel into
a single source tree.

i was hoping to updated sourceforge cvs this past
weekend, but i am still folding changes.
