 	Very cool .  Sorry to hear that .  I'll bet you'll have those done 
before I get this silly ka660 booting ...

> Do you have any specific areas you plan to work on?
 	I had been trying to get the Ka660 to boot .  I added some things to the 
tree ,  I believe Jan-Benedict put those changes in sometime ago ,  to attempt 
to get the ka660 booting ,  But I've been getting a (*) error .  And the 
"EK-KA660-TM-001 KA660 CPU Module Technical Manual" which is available online 
doesn't have any of the Appendices .
 	The ka650 I have was able to boot & mount a nfs home directory .  But 
it's still in storage until I can get my house built .  Just not enough power 
here where I am renting .
