Its burning the proverbial hole in my pocket; I'd really like to get this off my list of things I worry about. > I'm fairly sure Linas doesn't want to be the sym2 maintainer.

I have no difficulty living with ugly code: its actually a great excuse to fix things instead of doing "real work" :-) Rather, the menagerie of hardware I have access to is constantly changing; I don't have a symbios card just right now, and it might take a few days to even find someone who did. Which is an incredibly unpleasent, unrewarding activity. --linas
