Nathan -

I  tried sending you a  reply  earlier this week. Using your e-mail  
address  as found in your
first reply message.    I  did not  want to blather on about myself in 
the public messages.

But its been severl days andI  have not received any reply.

So - Apologies if  matters  have simply kept you from replying in a 
timely manner. 
And apologies to everyone else for what  follows...

Yes - I do have  some familiarity with kernel programming - or rather  
system programming
which gets right down to the iron - if not expressly kernel programming 
itself.
I have worked on   drivers, interrupt handlers, multthreading, mutexes, 
semaphores, IPC's,
serial commucations  and more.

But my experience  mostly comes from a Unix  or Single Board Computer 
background
and not from any specific  BeOS or Haiku work.

So - how do I get started ?
