	PowerPC Microprocessor Common Hardware Reference Platform Book 1 changes
		CHRP Specification Sections 7.3.5.1 and 7.3.5.2 do not say anything about the endianess of the data in configuration space and whether it should be returned "as-is" or "byte-reversed" depending on the endianess of the processor.
		The platform may want to output indicators that we do not know of, the platform may have different triggers for resume than for normal power on, etc. So we are thinking of using hibernate with a null block list (first word, length in bytes, of the block list is 0).
		Platform Implementation Note: The existence of this sensor state reporting capability should not be construed as a requirement to have any limits on sensors or to always have all four limits.

		The goal was originally to produce both the CPU design and a common architechture based on it, called PReP (for PowerPC Reference Platform), and later CHRP (for Common Hardware Reference Platform).
		PReP was in fact a barely-modified version of IBM's existing RS/6000 platform, changed only to support the new bus style of the PowerPC (based on the Motorola 88000).
		Although the platform was eventually supported by several Unix flavours as well as Windows NT, these operating systems generally ran just as well on Intel-based hardware so there was little reason to use the PReP systems.

	Common Hardware Reference Platform - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Common Hardware Reference Platform (CHRP) was an early PowerPC hardware reference design.
		The successor of PReP, it was conceptualized as a design to allow various operating systems (especially Mac OS, Windows NT and various flavors of UNIX) to run on a common hardware platform.
		It did not catch on, and the only systems to ship with actual CHRP hardware were certain members of IBM's RS/6000 series machines running AIX.

	Convergence: CHRP
		Designed in a joint venture between Motorola, IBM and Apple Computer, CHRP represents a new breed of open standard computers which are similar in many ways to the existing IBM PC compatible systems but sufficiently different to make it worthwhile.
		The hardware can be implemented in any way that you like, so long as the requirements for CHRP are met.
		CHRP information compiled for Convergence International by Ben Clarke and updated to January 1999 status by Peter Mogensen.

	Setting Up Hardware Profiles in Virtual Machines (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		This set of virtual devices is different from the set of real hardware devices, and is independent of the underlying hardware with a few exceptions (the processor itself is such an exception).
		This feature provides a stable platform and allows operating system images installed within a virtual machine to be migrated to other virtual machines, regardless of the configuration of the real machine.
		If more than one hardware profile exists, the user is prompted to choose between different hardware profiles at boot time.

		Computer hardware are the physical components of a computer system, such as CPU, memory, NIC, hard drive, mothrboard etc. On the other hand, computer software are the instruction and programs that tell the computer what to do.
		It refers to the memory-addressing scheme used in the original IBM and compatible PCs (8088).Because of 8088 engineering limitations, storage or memory addresses were limited to a maximum of one megabyte, but the top 384K (called upper memory) is reserved for system use.
		Usually the hardware device considered to be crippleware can be upgraded to better or its full potential by way of a trivial change, such as removing a jumper.

		The CHRP (Common Hardware Reference Platform) standard, although still evolving, brings the PowerPC alliance closer to the goal it stated in 1991 to create a new standard for RISC-based computers that will let hardware vendors build a computer system for a specific audience by picking and choosing components.
		CHRP emphasizes the use of an ISA bus or a PCI bus, whereas the original standard only suggested their use.
		Open Firmware provides the mechanism by which a CHRP system configures and operates all its expansion devices as Mac peripherals under the Mac OS for one session and then configures and operates these devices as PC peripherals when the computer is restarted to run an NT or OS/2 session.

		CHRP is at the heart of whether the Mac market will be freed from Apple’s competition-sapping regulation.
		But pinpointing exactly what the Common Hardware Reference Platform (CHRP) is has never been easy since the operative definition has varied radically from year to year.
		CHRP began in 1993 as a quest to manufacture computers that could run a variety of operating systems (OSes), including the Macintosh OS, versions of Unix, and even Windows NT.

	CHRP ISA Serial Port Device Binding
		The ISA serial port (UART Controller) is one of the most standardized pieces of hardware in the industry, mostly due to the relative lack of support for it in older operating systems and so the tendency for applications programs to directly manipulate it.
		For devices which are selected as Open Firmware's "console input device" or "console output device" device, the device shall be initialized appropriately for the device to which it is attached.
		Refer to [5] for more information on the state of this device when the client is started.

		The PowerPC Reference Platform (PReP) is a system standard, designed by IBM, intended to ensure compatibility among PowerPC-based systems built by different companies.
		The CHRP is an open platform agreed on by Apple, IBM, and Motorola.
		CHRP is a superset of PReP and the PowerMac platforms; thus you'll be able to run applications written for the PReP operating systems (OS/2-PPC, Windows NT, AIX) and the PowerMac (MacOS) on the new CHRP systems (under the same OS they're written for, of course).

		However, while the currently-offered IBM open platform reference design undoubtedly has CHRP ancestry, referring to it as CHRP is incorrect.
		The platform specs were later expanded to include USB and Firewire and G3 processor.
		We should not refer to this platform as CHRP because it does not have any proprietary Apple Mac technologies, instead it is called Open (meaning Apple can't interfere with licensing because no Mac ROMs, ADB, or Mac serial are used).

		CHRP - The Common Hardware Reference Platform is a standard agreed by Apple, IBM, and Motorola to provide compatibility across all PowerPC systems.
		The main features of CHRP are its basis on the PowerPC architecture and the hardware bus independence.In theory, all CHRP systems should be able to run MacOS, OS/2-PPC, Windows NT, AIX, Solaris, Novell Netware, and possibly other operating systems.
		This means that, like the Intel platform, operating systems designed by one company, should be able to run on all PowerPC based systems.

		The last cohesive attempt at marketing a standard PowerPC platform- CHRP (Common Hardware Reference Platform) - died a messy death as all three members failed or backed out of their obligations.
		By all accounts, IBM is eager to crack the multi-billion dollar market for personal computer processors, to grab a larger piece of the market that has seen demand grow by exponentially over the last 10 years.
		Among those parties who have announced their adoption of the POP spec are Prophet Systems (A division of Eternal Computing), and Total Impact (an established producer of multi-processing upgrades for the PPC Macintosh).

		But whether the first of the new generation machines - dubbed Power Amigas - will be straight Common Hardware Reference Platform clones is still an open question, as the Escom subsidiary debates the best way to maintain backwards compatibility with existing applications.
		Running existing Amiga applications on a plain CHRP platform will be tough - the Amiga contains a number of proprietary support chips that the software expect to be present.
		However the spokesperson says that the intention is to when application developers away from accessing the hardware directly; so that newer applications will be hardware independent.
