Yes it could fit in 64k. We would have to kill the forth interp for the most
part. But we had a version that was 64k a
While ago. 128 is real easy. It fits in 128k now.
The sis900 code we wrote is for the most part etherboot compat. We wrote it
to fit into the etherboot framework.
We use parts of etherboot for the tftp/nfs code.
We are no longer pushing for anything less than 256k since that seems to be
the norm for flash parts these days.

One bug, it seems that your code writes something to the CMOS NVRAM and
depends on that. I believe that it does not write correct values so I
have
to clear CMOS every time I reboot your code.

I remember when you were in Taiwan, you said your target is something
like 128KB or even 64KB Flash. Can this be achive with current code
base ??
BTW, how much effort does it take to port sis900.c to etherboot ??
Or is it already been done ??
We (SiS) are very interested in your work.
