If the patent was filed in 1985 (which is what that web page claims) then
it would have expired either in 2002 or 2005 (I make no claim as to
whether or not the patent would apply to the Soekris BIOS; my only point
is that the patent has expired, so the whole question is likely moot).

And am I the the only one who wonders how Poul-Henning Kamp gets all of
the knowledge about the "double-secret" Soekris features? :-)
