                     52: OpenBSD/socppc is heavily based on OpenBSD/macppc.  The e300 core
                     53: found on the MPC8349E is a derivative of the MPC603e processor used in
1.2       deraadt    54: early PowerPC-based Apple Macintosh systems, so most of the low-level
1.1       kettenis   55: code is identical.

                     61: are only supported behind a USB 2.0 hub, and support for the
                     62: integrated switch on the Thecus N1200 is still missing.
