That was my impression that it's based on the same code. Which is why
I think that needs to be cleaned up.

I think you are right - there is some crap in this directory.

Understood. Well, but at least we can try and (1) remove  the  (board
specific)  BIOS  emulator from the MAI board directory and (2) switch
to use your commin implementation yet.

If you can proivide a patch that the MAI still  compiles  and  links,
that  wouldbe  a  good  base  that other users could test it - I hope
there are still MAI users around? [Otherwise we can simply remove the
whole board support? ;-) ]

That's what I hope, too. Alternatively, at least some MAI users would
be able to run some tests.

Best regards,
