It doesn't mean that the box has 8 CPUs, but that the OpenPIC can handle 8
CPUs. So the weird thing is that the OpenPIC can handle only one interrupt
source. Would you really want to build an OpenPIC for only one interrupt
source?

FYI, on my LongTrail it says `2 CPUs and 20 IRQ sources', which is correct for
the OpenPIC in the Apple Hydra.

Hmmm... most Amiga users I know don't care for 68k anymore :) But I suggest
we drop that matter now... :) Probably not really interesting for most people
on the list :)))
