"really interested" is a bit strong. As always, my primary goal is not to break anything when I make a commit. The luna88k patch looks pretty straightfoward, but it's hard to be completely sure I didn't screw something up. > [...] you could run this in nono since you're just looking for > a compile/boot test.
