Ragge, do you or anyone else in the crewe have a backup of the 1.0A
sources or binaries anywhere?  I got enough to get a machine up with
it for some testing, but I could not get the C compiler and other things
to work right to compile a MVII only kernel.  If you or anyone still
has the 1.0A stuff floating about, I would like to get a copy, for
some comparison testing, with a stripped MVII kernel.  The earliest
thing I can find after that is the 1.2 suite.

Thanks

Bob
