There's a big difference in which implementation we do. The BSD/OS implementation works, at least in the BSD/OS environment. Nothing else has been written. I think it's very important that we get the BSD/OS version up and hobbling before we start redesigning things. By the time we've done that, we'll understand the material so much better that we'll have a double win (working code and an understanding of how to do it better). I'm currently up to my elbows in dead interrupt code, and I'm surprised how much I'm learning [wipes mess off arms].
