no, it's different. Both GTA01 and GTA02 are Neo1973 ;0
Sorry. Believe me, we are thinking hard about this, and it is being
taken care of.
rm has been asked to rename MACH_GTA01 to MACH_NEO1973_GTA01 and
MACH_NEO1973_GTA02, which is the only logical, precise and conclusive
way for naming. The same naming scheme will be followed further down
the road.
