Out but not yet complete.  The VGA, audio and probably something else I
forgot still require code available only in binary form, under approriate
agreements..

I will easily say that a LinuxBIOS for the SCx2xx platform is among the
cooler things done by the opensource community so far, but I'm probably a
bit biased.  :)  There's no doubt that it's a very young platform however,
and one that has more than one secret.
