Indeed, I keep thinking that I'd like to take a whack at getting my TNT2 Ultra
working. Unfortunately my Copious Free Time hasn't yet been copious enough to
let me gather together the necessary computers; it seems like you're talking

terminal for development, a file server, and a machine with the card you're
developing for.
