I've posted a rant or 10 myself, wasn't received well. Mostly related to 
the $20 wide address decoding in the i/o space, which should have been 
$04 wide in the first place, even in the old grey ghosts. This IS 
fixable, but no one has tried that I'm aware of. The only sw that would 
break is sw that was sloppily written in the first place, and generally 
speaking, most of that sw could be fixed by a 1 byte patch.
