Probably this weekend, or maybe Friday. It's obvious to me at this point 
that I'm not going to get another test to pass just yet unless it's the 
I-Memory test, and that'll probably take some dumb luck. 

On the upside, it now passes all of EXPT save the I-Memory, Event Posting, 
and Memory Cycle Abort tests. On the downside, the 8th set of VMA tests are 
scary, and implied un-fun things about the MMU. I -really- wish the MMU were 
better documented, as the solution I hit upon is fairly shaky feeling.

Cool. You still have an mX board, right? I'm thinking that maybe after we 
get Raven emulated properly we go on to Hummingbird.
