And on that note: Let me introduce myself.

My name is Nick Fortune, and I've just subscribed to this list in the hope
of making myself useful in this very area. I have an ancient laptop
with a PD6729 and... well you know the rest.

I'm a newcomer to writing kernel/driver code, but I've developed applications
and system libraries using C & Unix for 20 years.  I'd be happy to help, 
although I suspect I'd face a it of learning curve.

Then again, I have plenty of free time right now, so when better?
