+
+STATUS:
+
+o	The core setup works within limits.
+o	The scsi layer seems to almost work. I'm still chasing down the hang
+	bug.
+o	The block OSM is fairly minimal but does seem to work.
+
+
+TO DO:
+
+General:
+o	Support multiple IOP's and tell them about each other
+o	Provide hidden address space if asked
+o	Long term message flow control
+o	PCI IOP's without interrupts are not supported yet
+o	Push FAIL handling into the core
+o	DDM control interfaces for module load etc
+
+Block:
+o	Real error handler
+o	Multiple major numbers
+o	Read ahead and cache handling stuff. Talk to Ingo and people
+o	Power management
+o	Finish Media changers
+
+SCSI:
+o	Find the right way to associate drives/luns/busses
+
+Net:
+o	Port the existing RCPCI work to the frame work or write a new
+	driver. This one is with the Finns
+
+Tape:
+o	Anyone seen anything implementing this ?
