Just wanted to let everyone know that the next rev of the Cougar
motherboard and chassis support boards have shipped!  We have ordered 25
fabs of each and the assemblies will be split into builds of 10 and 15.
Along with the next rev of the chassis, we'll be putting together full
systems during the week of 11/19.

Also, as most of you are already aware, there are 2 areas on the Rev 1
motherboard that have not been checked out yet -- QLogic SRAM and FC
line interface.  These areas cannot be checked out in PROM and are
dependent on runtime software.  Jeff is making very good progress on
getting the FP/FC runtime to the point where we can access these 2
areas, and if a problem is found with the hardware, we can stop the
motherboard fabs to fix the issue.  However, I'm hoping to hear from
Jeff by the end of the week that external loopback packets are running
through the QLogics, which means both the SRAM and FC line interface are
working!


Thanks,
Brian
