MPE 7.5 on 9x7 Hardware
There has been a flurry of emails on hp3000-l about how someone has booted 7.5 on a 9x7 system by using the reverse engineered version of ssconfig that they call 'ssedit'. There's much interest in the legality of this.

Meeting w/ HP

M. Pavinen thinks that Source Build Review work can begin at the end of July. B. Foster to remind M. Pavinen about the lack of progress regarding MPE certification. The Board suggested that we lock-in a start-of-work date. If the work is delayed, we're still paid. We're still due a PSA and SOW.
