We haven't heard from them. I have written email to them a few times (2 or 3), but they haven't replied. The current PC-9800 implementation is only 1/2 done, and IDE is very hackish, according to Bart. And currently X86_PC9800 cannot be selected at all (it's not there!), so people cannot attempt to build/fix it either (without fixing that, which I have done, but I don't think it's worth submitting that patch). -- ~Randy
