I have pc98 support in the works, I could need a couble of testers though since I dont have any pc98 HW here. About the IBM problem, I have no idea why that fails, I need access to such a box to get further with that, or somebody with access and the right amount of hacking skills needs to get involved.. However the company I work for just went out of business, so things are a bit chaotic here while things gets sorted out with that, and depending on the outcome I'll need time to find a new job ... I'll try to keep in touch but I might be somewhat absent currently due to the state of affairs.. -Søren To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
