Hello Alan, all, sorry that you didn't hear from me. Of course everything is still valid. I even bought new testing hw: SB1500 Red and SB2500 Red. But while the global crisis didn't hit me, I managed to produce my own home-made one. I'm still struggling to fix everything. All fox-gate supported devices continue to be community-supported. Plus the IPS repos as once suggested by Milan Jurik. Plus the ast-ddx derived changes for m64, pfb and afb, making libpciaccess based bus scanning superfluous on SPARC (where it still didn't really work when I last checked). I finally see light at the end of the tunnel, in terms of misc. things that are more complex than a ddx module (which itself is a fact that I wouldn't have imagined a year ago). More asap, as soon as the Sun is shining again. Kind regards, Martin Bochnig
