No, I have no intention of working against anyone. It seems that the focus
of this list is replacing the BIOS with a plug-compatible equivalent, or
doing Open Firmware instead. My focus is much simpler: I want to get just
enough OpenBIOS working to boot linux, and we're almost there. Supporting
FreeDOS and other 16-bit OSes is quite neat, but is not a concern of mine.
I have no need for INT 12 support, for example.
So we'll help all we can with OpenBIOS, but past a point our needs and
interests will diverge. I certainly will let you all know if I ever figure
out how to write NVRAM -- if I can't do that, then I'm dead in the water.
Thanks
