The reason stated was: "It is not maintained anymore" -- perhaps you can step in as the maintainer instead? We've got older code and code for older hardware still hanging around. FWIW I've found both the MT ASE itself and the way you made it used by Linux brilliant. As did the few people I gave a more thorough overview of the design. Thanks for your contribution to the MIPS architecture! Maciej
