If you don't want to wait for the 1.8 rom I can supply you
with one cheaper and faster. Of course that makes no sense
if you don't have the cache board. If I can get Joachim to
send me some bare cache boards, among others, I could build
them and distribute them for him. I have the time, ability, and
can probably get parts quicker than he can.
