Hi Prafulla,

This one was a bit of a judgement call.
You are absolutely correct in what you say that Kirkwood supports two, but
to the best of my knowledge, no one has yet implemented a board using
both busses (I am not that familiar with OpenRD, I may have to eat my 
words).

For the sheevaplug, guruplug & dreamplug, it is definitely the case that 
only
one device can be attached.
