Laurent,

I tested your cdboot image on a "mystic" mac configuration. For the
function of a CDROM drive I am using the internal scsi CDROM device
pulled from an lc575, and this is mounted in the external SCSI enclosure
of an old Ricoh MP6200S cdrw burner. Then of course I modify the gestalt
force parameter to '92' using emile-set-output. The result is that the
machine boots and runs the "woody net inst m68k" cdrom disc I am testing
with. It functions perfectly on "mystic" mac.

Very nice development :)

I also want to tell you that the x86 snapshot of EMILE is now working
with respect to modifying and writing out the gestalt ID. Thanks again
for that, if not for EMILE then I might have sent this cute little mac
machine to the trash.

An unrelated / off topic question for you, is there still interest in
adapting EMILE to support ppc? I can send you hardware to test with if
needed.

Eric
