The biggest outstanding issue is that the BIOS doesn't get completely mapped: there's a 16 kB hole in the middle of the video BIOS which causes the X server to crash. I've also had a lot of trouble with USB, though I haven't tried it lately. Greg -- See complete headers for address and phone numbers.
