These are all ROSS RT62[56] modules, right?

Can you tell us which version of NetBSD successfully runs with these
configurations, especially the SMP ones?  Does the latest NetBSD support
some of these configurations?

I vaguely remember reading reports saying that roughly no current OS
(including Solaris) is able to handle them correctly, especially in SMP
mode, so that would be an improvement.

Thanks,
Ludovic.
