Since I haven't deleted this message, I can only assume that nobody has
answered it yet.

Generic kernels are in:

ftp://puma.bevd.blacksburg.va.us/pub/outgoing/briggs/

and adbtest kernels are in:

ftp://ftp.microserve.com/popaccts/h/jpw/www/kernels/current/

Also, I recommend the ADB kernels for the IIsi, simply because the last
two generic kernels I tried wouldn't boot on mine.  Funny, but most people
didn't have the problem, only one other person that I heard about.  I'm
using ADBtest 110 or 111 (whichever one does all the checks) without any
trouble.

Still requires the jpw kernels, _but_ should work without a serial
terminal.  Now the LCII -- _that_ works serial console only with the
ADBtest last I checked, but the III is (I'm 99% sure) supported completely
now.

Hope that helps,
