- I was wondering if any of the 386bsd developers had ever heard of the iBCS2
- definition, and is it reasonable to try to get 386bsd compliant with it. If
- this 'standard' is reasonable, it would seem a good thing to be binary
- compatible with somebody, n'est pas?

- Just another random thought,

- Two other quick notes. I am using inn/trn to write/deliver this message
- (which the observant of you will have noticed is probably addressed from
- 'news@here'). I broke this about three weeks ago and cannot figure out
- where I broke it. I think I make something setuid() when I shouldn't have.
- Any good ideas?
- I have also been helping several folks with EISA SCSI controllers. The
- ones that have an ISA operating mode seem to work with the wd0 boot drivers,
- but I am learning all kinds of things about these beasties. Is anyone
- interested in seeing a short summary of the steps and pitfalls? E-Mail me
- (please) if you are interested. I will be glad to write/post such a summary
- if there is interest...
