Thank you, I've applied your comments. Indeed it is much nicer now.

AFAICS General Software makes no mention of applicable patents. I am not
aware of any patents which are infringed.
I've renamed it to `rfd' as `/dev/rfda' is much nicer than
`/dev/embiosftla', IMHO. Documentation refers to the RFD anyway, not to
the product which uses it (which isn't just the bios anyway).
dwmw2 pointed out that a major block number needs to be allocated, for
which I've sent a request to device at lanana.org. No response so far.
Any ideas for how it can be improved or reasons why it shouldn't be
commited to cvs?
