Does that take special hardware? Is it a jumper on the chip or a mode bit
the software can set/reset?
What's available in the way of hardware and/or OS/distro that supports BIG
endian mode?
I'd like to have a big endian system or three just to verify that things like
gpsd and ntpsec work correctly.
I have a couple of Mac Minis. On 2 of them, the firmware lies about the clock
frequency. I can get Open Firmware to patch it by hand, but can't save the
patch and apply it automatically on boot. And I haven't built kernels so I
can't yet do the equivalent patch there. Maybe one of these days...
