Due to various personnal reasons (kids, mostly I didn't had time to look at it during the past year. I tried to begin working again on it a few weeks back just to discover that the NetWinder I was using as a development platform had died on me Anyway, I'm not sure if it would have beed so great a platform given that Intel have EOL the SA110... I'm still looking around for a suitable development platform (one with a "real" bios if at all possible) without success so far. You might have a look at "http://pages.infinit.net/sepotvin/" if you want. It's very dated and I'm pretty sure that it doesn't compile anymore. Hope this help! Stephhelp
