I believe that the kinetic card info was given to aleph 1, partly for
the pc card stuff, but also for arm linux support, anyone considered
asking them for the technical info?  In this more open acorn world they
may well give it. I imagine there should be some way to detect that it's
a kinetic and if there's not we'll have to use a boot option.

To kludge sounds wrong, rpc maybe a minority machine, but better it's
still better to do it right if we can.  Linux is starting to catch on,
but so might netbsd on the RPC, armlinux is a very dodgey hack to get
the newest version (debian based one) installed, but aleph 1 are working
on this.
