Sounds superb.

If you could convert your manual conversion into a script and finally
into a patch or just a tar.gz if it's a new addition this would be
very much appreciated.

May you could at first add a menu option target with the options "normal" and
"embedded" with the suboptions "CD" (only if normal), "compact flash", "...."
and then keep working on your stuff.

Of course, but first it would be good if you showed us your
competence and professionality via contribution of patches and your
contribution on the mailinglist.

As of now I would very much consider you as one of our next
additions to our team ;-)
