I'd love to, but last year I could fix my serial port (replaced the chip
on the motherboard) and the new one died a few minutes later :-( I'm
starting to seriously suspect a flaky PSU that doesn't regulate its 12V
output well and that is progressively killing the mobo.

^^^^^^^^^^
I suspect this trailing "i" is a leftover from an attempt to switch vi to
insertion mode :-)
Otherwise, while I'm not competent on the alpha side, it looks clean from
the nolibc perspective, thank you!
