Heh. Still stagnating here, as far as I know. I'm finally doing more
NetBSD development, but nothing on the m88k at the moment. At least I'm
not saturating myself with NT stuff during the day. :-)
Someone has been doing some work, but I'll let him speak up if he wants to.
I have been too busy (lame) to look much at his progress and do some
myself.

Great! Do you have these in a soft copy? I've been looking for 88k/ELF
docs on and off for quite a while. I'd really like to have ELF working
early on...

Heh.
