Well Chris,
a little less porno and a bit more geography would help. A person from
Holland (Nederland to be precise) is a Dutchman and is definitely not a
German. Different language and culture my friend.
Truth is, I'm a Dutchman too!

6979 Thu, 21 Oct 1999 21:18:27 -0600 [alt-beam] Bicores aren't the only thing that are imbalanced... beam@sgiblab.sgi.com "John A. deVries II" At 06:33 PM 10/21/99 -0700, Wilf wrote:

Methinks that instead of all of the hacks that we've accumulated
(particularly the mechanical ones) that a simple, true method for achieving
"tweaking" might be an interesting electronic design topic. I am presuming
that it would (a) change the design of the bicore as LITTLE as possible and
(b) not interfere with intentional imbalance (e.g. tracking).
But then, I haven't had enough sleep lately.
