My immediate concern with the PI is that it's going to get into
trouble, eventually, with CF memory.
The pi has no built-in flash at all; its normal non-volatile storage
is a plug-in SD card. I think the wear-levelling on these is sufficient

I had typo'd on my first attempts with the kbargs=-b option
and that is working just great for my Logitech wireless
mouse AND the wired mouse.
That's good to know. I'll update the mouse driver on the 9pi
image today.
Does SD support the Trim request for wear-levelling?
Not as far as I know.
It's tempting to think about erasing freed blocks in order to
aid the wear-levelling and speed up writing. But it's not easy
to find the actual erase block architecture on a given card.

At the risk of annoying all of you happily using Plan 9 without a

No. They're written using BYTE instructions where needed.
Currently 8g will only generate 387 style fp code but the
is to eventually use SSE. See http://golang.org/issue/3912.
