Well, so far I haven't had the resources to work on it. However, forces
of nature willing, I'll bet getting a couple more hp300 machines `soon'

I distinctly remember Charles mentioning that he was `close', but didn't
have the time to finish it up.

There is currently no binary snapshot for the hp300. I'll try to correct
this as soon as I can. (It's one of the things on my list...) As for
stable source, I'll let you know. There are a few pr's pending in that
source, and as soon as my hp300 at home is up to date, I'll close them
and let you know how well it's working.
