+STATUS:
+
+o       The core setup works within limits.
+o       The scsi layer seems to almost work. 
+           I'm still chasing down the hang bug.
+o       The block OSM is mostly functional
+o       LAN OSM works with FDDI and Ethernet cards.
+
+TO DO:
+
+General:
+o       Provide hidden address space if asked
+o       Long term message flow control
+o       PCI IOP's without interrupts are not supported yet
+o       Push FAIL handling into the core
+o       DDM control interfaces for module load etc
+o       Add I2O 2.0 support (Deffered to 2.5 kernel)
+
+Block:
+o       Multiple major numbers
+o       Read ahead and cache handling stuff. Talk to Ingo and people
+o       Power management
+o       Finish Media changers
+
+SCSI:
+o       Find the right way to associate drives/luns/busses
+
+Lan:    
+o       Performance tuning
+o       Test Fibre Channel code
+
+Tape:
+o       Anyone seen anything implementing this ?
+           (D.S: Will attempt to do so if spare cycles permit)
