Well, I think he means that I have a couple pending patches from
contributors, and I need to figure out how best to handle IDE and
ST-506 drives. In fact, I'm not aware of anybody who currently
has a non-usable IDE drive. One of the patches is for a controller
which could not auto-step heads, but otherwise the WD driver seems
to do pretty well.

The biggest problem is putting together a set of tools which will
build the system. I intend to publish all the needed support tools
with the next release--make seems to be the biggest stumbling block,
followed by gzip and tar. I won't offer a copy of djgpp, due to size,
but I will provide a pointer to a repository.
