I like Guiness... ;-)

Seriously, over the past year I (and others) have been working
on it. We have come up with something we call a Hardware
Abstraction Layer (HAL) and are about to begin the task of
integrating it with EMC. We _hope_ to have something working
in time for the NAMES show in Detroit in late April. I need
to write an "Intro to HAL" document that explains how it all
works. HAL _should_ make it much easier to write device
drivers for EMC. Stay tuned for more details as they become
available.
