This kernel works with two uhci computers and one uhci add-on card that do 
work with SW91 but don't work with DOS (they crash).

Was this kernel compiled to work with my vendor/product ID?

No big deal, I got a better serial cable that will download 50MB in just 
over 1 hours instead of 6 hours.  USB would have been lots faster, but if 
we are travelling it should work with XP anyway.

Okay.  In BL3 I can mount -t msdos for my DOS floppy disks.

Next project is to get this kernel into a 1 or 2-floppy linux to keep with 
the Compact Flash camera for travelling.  I will attempt this myself.
