Now, as we are able to boot linux directly from a CD the tools can
stay on linux side.
That's certainly nice to have as an option, but so are MacOS-hosted
tools.
So perhaps Joshua can help me to write some parts, in my TODO there
are:
- save/change/restore the gamma of the screen (I don't like the
green display of my Q610)
- save/change/restore the video mode
- save/change/restore the boot device
Based on the information at <http://okmij.org/ftp/xPRAM.html> (some
of which is wrong) and some experimentation, I'm able to read the
extended PRAM, and I've added a read-only /sys/mac/xpram file to Lamp
(Lamp ain't Mac POSIX), my Unix-like environment for classic Mac OS
(like MPW, only much better). In other words, I have working sample
code for reading the xPRAM (and writing it is almost identical).
