Feel free to work on that if you like.  I'm actually a little less busy 
than I was, and can help.  If you'd like to take the opportunity to 
play with PHP, by all means go ahead.  I guess I should download the 
release and take a peek...

Alright, I just downloaded rc8 and did:

    diff -u ~/etherboot-5.1.2rc8/src/Config ~/etherboot-5.0.7/src/Config

and

    diff -u ~/etherboot-5.1.2rc8/src/NIC ~/etherboot-5.0.7/src/NIC

Nice work Eric.  I hope to be of some help with drivers soon.

It looks as though the changes to the rom-o-matic code won't be too 
hard.  Mostly new parameters.  NIC hasn't changed format, so that won't 
be a problem.  The ide and floppy entries at the bottom of NIC look 
interesting;  I'll have to see what magic is going on there.

It's nice to be able to sit on a cold Sunday evening in Cambridge and 
look at some nice code for a change.  Maybe I can help with driver 
conversion for multicast support.

Anyway, great work, folks.  What sorts of things could you use some 
help on?

Marty
