Who's doing the SIBO port?

Who's doing the SIBO port?

[Richard Wallman]

After successfully wiping the Internal ramdisk on my 3c (DOH! Where's
that backup...) I thought it might be easier to ask the maintainer.
So...

Who's the current maintainer of the SIBO port, and is there any work
being done on it? I think at very least putting a bloody big warning in
the FAQ along the lines of: "If you don't know exactly what you're
doing, you're likely to wipe everything, so backup NOW!" rather than
the kinda weak "It's not worth installing" message in /INSTALLATION

Apologies, I've been meaning to update the docs... :(

I'll shout you beer sometime if you are ever in London.

I've been keeping it compilable for elks, so I guess that's me.  however
without workable psion at the moment as it was stolen :(  Will replace
shortly, as my brother may be giving me his.

OK - will add a better warning for the sibo stuff and some better
instructions.

Things I want do - enable support for larger ssd's, ensure it doesn't
run out of memory after a few commands.  Try to make work with psions
with lower memory
