The endianess depends - the RM200 was available both as little-endian
version with ARC firmware for use with NT and as big-endian with
SINIX-Firmware. Cross-development systems for both big- and little-endian
systems are available at oss.sgi.com, the little-endian packages are also
mirrored on ftp://bolug.uni-bonn.de/mips/crossdevel.
