Joel:
  I can understand Gene's confusion since RTEMS lists support for the
PPC 4xx series.  IBM defines about 8 processors in this series starting
with the 403GCX, ranging to the 440GP.  
 Without downloading RTEMS is there anyway of determining which specific
chip/board combinations are supported? 

Greg B.

And the major difference between the 405GP and 405GPr seems to be speed
(up to 400MHz from 266MHz)
