To Frank Hogg and anyone else involved in this, this is a truly
superb idea - BRAVO!   This is the one thing I can think of that
could make OSK a viable platform for home users.  I suggested
the possibility of the makers of CDI doing this, but the idea
of doing it as a third party add-on is brilliant.  This will let
us hackers have at it.

The one thing that worries me is the question of file managers.  If
the ROMed OS in CDI lacks RBF, SCF, or whatever then there is a real
problem.  Getting the file manager licenses from uWare without
doubling or tripling the system cost could be troublesome.  If
everything is in there, though, then this should be straightforward.

I'm in transit from Japan back to the US right now, so I'll be offline
for a bit, but SIGN ME UP.  I'll be in touch when I get back to the
US.  I might even shell out for a CDI to hack open so I can help in the
design process.
