That sounds a bit sad. Why is that, surely not to limit the size to fit on a
1.44Mb floppy or something as daft as that? I can't understand why adding
new features has to disturb existing/working features - especially if they
have no common bits (I mean what has settting the clock while booting got to
do with serial i/f support????).
