Ah, well that's a little different of course. The sad truth of the matter is that absolutely nothing is happening, not with the PALcode, not with any aspect of the FreeBSD/ALPHA project. People are either simply far too busy to devote any time at all to it or are stuck without any technical documentation at all for their machines and frustrated by Digital's inability to provide same. So I guess what I'm saying is that if you want to take this ball and run with it, you'd be more than welcome since you're the only player on the ball field at the moment. :-) Jordan
