We have receieved 10 samples of Rev. B last week.  Part # PPC5200CBV400B

Sounds like others may be having similiar problems, glad to know Im not the only
frustrated one here.  The schedule freescale provided showed a production
release in July that would resolve these issues.  The reason we went to the
Rev. B was because the PCI Bridge PLX6152 would not respond due to PCI timing
errata in the 5200.  The suggested workaround seemed unfeaseable due to the
local bus being shared.  Any input?
