Iirc I've mentioned it to Simon once - maybe it slopped through.
I can put my stuff up for FTP somewhere if you want.

As I understand, these are the callbacks for the old,
pre-PEX proms. I've tested on a '240, so I've used
the REX calls bootinit(), bootread() and bootwrite()
which provide a packet interface.
Or am I wrong? I don't have documentation except some
source picked up here and there.
As I said, it nearly works, so it can't be too wrong.
