Roar,
Thanks for the information.
I'm trying to get my feet wet and starting to looking at the code.
I have a few questions:
What are you thoughts about IPL? The i386s only allow turning on/off all
interrupts.
Are interrupts blocked on the i386 while your in an interrupt?
OK. I could go find that out, but I guess it's easier to just ask...
Is mycli() something you just using for debugging? Not sure what that is
for...
Just getting started here and trying to figure out where to begin and how to
help...

That depends on what kind of functionality you want.
The newest one is the one that is worked on, but some previous ones have
functionality that is currently broken or temporarily disabled.

The README file is as usual a starter file.

There is a TASKLIST, but it might not be quite up to date.

Yes, but it seems that some things must/may be broken first, so that we can
build in compatibility later.

Yes, for both the good and bad it is worth.

Yes. (But there is none today)
Sorry for a bit late answer, but your mail ended up with an old thread so I
did not notice it before.
