Michelle, is there any possibility the that ALOM code will be open sourced?

It's very hard to piece together a mental image of a hardware/software design 
from a few cumbs of information.

When I do a recursive, case-insensitive, grep for "vbsc" in the OpenSolaris 
source, I find just 3 references in 2 files, all of which refer to a "power off 
button". In all of the T2000 documentation I can find no reference to a power 
off button. Sigh.

How is it possible to write software for an undocumented hardware 
implementation?

(Sorry if I sound upset. It's just that I have this expensive piece of hardware 
sitting here at Sun's expense, just begging to have a complete software 
implementation written for it.)
