time doesn't matter to me for this, so any time you want is fine.  The
quad-P6 is in, but I'm having a struggle getting it to run with linux.
Seems the Adaptec SCSI driver, plus the serial port drivers have
problems
with SMP in some cases...

But it is now running as a one-processor P6 and that seems solid.  We
can
certainly play using that machine (the PII/300 will probably disappear
on
Monday (tomorrow))..

I don't see abner in the noplay list.  Are you talking about the
"crafty"
handle on ICC???

your proposed times sounds fine to me...  but hold off for a day or so
as one goal is to get the quad-p6 up as a quad-box, and doing so may
make
it unreliable for a bit...
