I also wondered what come of that thread.
If anybody manages to read the PROM and disassemble it, I'm still
interested in having a peek at the disassembled code. Can't promise
anything as I'm quite busy these days, but I wouldn't mind a peek.
On this subject... I heard somewhere that OpenBSD knew about some of this
