On the other hand, this shouldn't deter people with strong enough motivation and access to the hardware. Anyone (given enough motivation and time) can learn how to implement the necessary code for a port to a new hardware platform. In this case, it isn't even a brand new platform, just different intialization stage and different hardware devices. No, I'm not saying that this is the easiest assignment a person can undertake. -- Regards, Torfinn Ingolfsen
