Alex, whats the status of the Pseudo Disk?

Pretty much dead.

I was holding out for write

that's what killed it :)

capability, multiple partitions, and was hoping for the ability to
switch disks.  This would essentially end up being a SVD on a card
which would be pretty holy grailish.

I was hoping that being an open source project it would start some
kind of a joint effort. There were 2 people who contributed to the
project later on, but that was clearly not enough to keep it alive.
With just 20 units or so ever requested there was zero incentive for
me to do any development.

The upcoming CB will have both an IDE and MMC/SD interfaces and more
than enough logic to implement just about any storage device. I'll do
the low level driver but somebody else will need to write a UI to
select images, etc.
