Yes this is better in the dev list.

I think you find them in the nut comaptiblity list also. The difference is
that we need a report on that it works.

Yes and bcmxcp have been improved in the trunk (going for 2.4.0).
And I think it would be good if we can get this into the upscode2 also.

Are you up for to do some programming?
In that case I can support you with some doc's on how the loadsegment
is working in the upscode2. Don't know if the developer of the upscode2
driver is still active, I know they have this info.

Im at the moment on a low level of activity, due to many other things to do,
but I keep up with the list traffic and try to have the bcmxcp driver working.
But it need more work.
