I have neither the time nor skill nor manuals to attempt a port if 
9nextstation doesn't already support the Turbo....  I was under the 
impression the only difference was CPU clock speed.... were there other 
archeticural changes?

Also.. my question still stands.... if 9nextstation will work on a given 
machine, can i build a 9nextstationcpu for it as well... this binary 
isn't on the distribution... but I seem to remember (from the last time I 
had plan 9 up...) that the cpu and temrinal kernels were nearly identical...
