actually, that's not quite true. we're seeing a fair amount of interest
here. I suspect vendors are not that interested in supporting another BIOS
unless/until they see potential $$$ ("value proposition" in MBA speak). We
seem to have found a workable value proposition here. It won't cost them
anything, and they get the results of our work on sourceforge.net, and
there may be competitive advantage in the Linux market at some point.
I think Parag's work is quite good but he has a tougher job than we do.
but we'll see how it all plays out :-)
