The plug really needs fully hands-off booting and this does not seem = to
be the direction you're heading. =A0I suppose my approach where the fil= e
server is on the network isn't great either, although it may be suitabl= e
for an auth server.

What are the various eventual uses for a plug running P9? =A0I can think of=

=A0 =A0 =A0 =A0Stealth CPU server/AUTH server
=A0 =A0 =A0 =A0ARM development system (where's Go?)

Can't think of anything else, but I'm not great on the imagination = thing.

I'm particularly fragmented now, but soon I'll want to focus on onl= y a few
projects, so I'm offering to help any sort of concrete goals. =A0I have= only
an oldish plug, probably a year old now, but it's dedicated to Plan 9.<= br>
Mind you, so is the YeeLoong and that doesn't seem to be going anywhere= .
