Dann and company,
Sorry this took so long. Other fires burning.
Here are my partner Dave's notes, which I think address
most of the gory details you were asking for.
Ironically, we'd already started down the path suggested
by Hildburg Asano in his subsequent mail about compiling
the AIC driver into boel.
At the moment, I think we'll just stop, let the community
munge the data we're tossing out and await some suggestions.

Either source and destination registers must be the same,
or either source or destination register must be SFBR.

Note: I replaced this line with the following:
MOVE CTEST7 TO SFBR
MOVE SFBR & 0xef CTEST7
I believe it is a correct fix but the actual bug is in the Perl script: script_asm.pl.
Probably and unititalized value??
Restarted make. Completed with no errors.

RH 8.0 did not like the date used in the touch command (196912311900). I changed it to
197012311900 and it was okey with that.

That is pretty much everything plus the kitchen sink. If there is
anything we left out or more info needed, please advise.
In general I would like to thank all the folks who have responded to
this thread. There seems to be a lot of interest. If there is anything
we need to cookbook at the end of this, I will be happy to write up the
finished solution and send it off.
