Phew! Thats a hard question ... I would like to consider it and work on it 
only if i had docs and a machine to work on. The first step towards more 
generic support for Acorn32 derived machines is allready taken by creating 
a new even more extend bootloader.

One minor problem with the Iyonix will propably be that it needs a new 
port/base to start with derived from the evbarm port since its chipset is 
quite different from the `normal' Acorn machines. It would be neat to have 
it run NetBSD though!

So concluding its mainly a factor of me having a machine and some time to 
work on it. I can't afford to buy the machine myself but if Castle (that 
was the company wasn't it?) is willing to give details and provide a 
machine i wouldn't mind giving it a try ;)
