[ixp1200] Functionality of A0 Silicon?

[Heaton, Eric D]

Loren,

Check out the latest IXP1200 Spec Update for info on exactly how much
trouble you will have.  ;)  This document can be found on the IXA SDK, but
if you need a copy, let me know.  (The latest is dated June 2001.)

Hello List,

It would seem that I am lucky enough to have an Evaluation Kit with A0
Silicon.

I was able to glean this bit of information from a helpful source:

> Intel released 3 versions I know of, each less crippled then the
> last. The B0 parts are useable. The A0 parts have a number of serious
> bugs.

How bad are the A0 parts?

What are the bugs?

Thanks in advance!
