I'd like to try my hand at any of the necessary points on the AS200 if I can. E2 support - NetBSD has it, it shouldn't be too much of an issue to port? Floppy/Sound - Only linux has this, it's a long-shot for me, but if I can get E2 to work, it'd be a good finishing point, no? My question is, of course, is this on anyone's near-term ToDo list? I'm wondering if many Alpha's have much care for the latter, but from what I've seen many are shipped with E2/E3 cards and video display is always nice 8).
