I believe that is not the one.  The coco is down ATM, playing with a video 
converter drive circuit so I can't give you the size & crc of the sb 
module.

But I just moved the most recent src file to the Genes-os9-stf link on my 
web page.  There are some tweaks in L51.defs too, so it is also posted 
there.

<http://gene.homelinux.net:85/gene/Genes-os9-stf/> should get you there, 
yelp if problems

This stuff builds ok on linux using the latest toolshed tools.

If I ever get Quartus 11 installed, I would like a copy of your latest for 
the DE1 board, but first I have to fix my libxml2.so, its missing the 
gzdirect call and the quartus installer bails with lots of mewling about 
it.

Cheers, gene
