Jan,
If that was you falling over, that's about right.
But dropping a K-class would be a bit louder ;^)

Robert,
K-class is only partially supported.
serial ports you probably can forget.
Anything connected via HP-PB slot (aka NIO) doesn't work either.
Search the mail archives (lists.parisc-linux.org) for "K-class"
for hints on getting a K-class booted.
