My mips port of table.x86 is about maybe a third of the way from a final beta version (now that I've mastered the dark secrets of lea).  I think I might need help rewriting compdata for portability, any offers?  Also, are there any test programs that I might be interested in?

	You do realize that you will very likely be on your own for this
whole SGI development process, right? As for the comptbl, I think that
Quor is the only person who understands that program. (Quor? Are you out
there? Can you explain it?) As for a test program, would it help to have a
simple test ROM? Somewhere, I should still have a very simple ROM that I
wrote that just scrolls some graphics. I'll try to dig that up.

	BTW, regarding an earlier email of yours, *nobody* likes the Intel
x86 instruction set...:) Just so you know you're not alone.
