Another good example of "more going on than gets much publicity"...<BR>
I've "parroted" what I heard from Maiko relative to the jnos branch of xnos only, and certainly he is the definitive source.<BR>
I expect jnos may be loadable to some Win(?) platform rather directly if he continues on his present course (up to him)...<BR>
<BR>
My personal interest is only to document how it is done.<BR>
To that end, I'd love to find an example of a successful (j-only)nos on win using this special driver and patch(s)?<BR>
<BR>
Thanks for the details<BR>
