	Me too and very much, but...

	Yes, no other drivers are not developed yet.

	Another not bad idea! A few days ago Steven Johnson gave an idea of using
MBX860 as an intermediate box, which will have GDB server to one side and
BDM interface via SPI+GPIO pins to the target side. Are there any
volunteers to try to do this? Wiggler's protocol may be reversed from GDB's
sources.

	We can only dream about this today...
