    Mai.com supports their YDL for AmigaOne! I have been reading that they   
   customized the kernel to handle the DMA problems that occur in the 2.4.x   
   kernels. Linux is not up to date to the new bus of ArticiaS becasue they   
   are i386 & Unix origins. OS4.x has nothing to do with these problems. :)    
   And that, dear hearts, is absolutely good news! =:o
