Our primary goal is to remake it for SGI systems. Inevitably there might be ports to other architectures and that's one of the reasons that I would like to focus on 32-bit first besides the cost/engineering challenges of later kernels. Something I've been bike shedding is that if we manage to get a successful drive with this and in 3-4 years we have progress under way for a functional 32-bit IRIX, we can start seeing what pieces we can reuse for an RE of 64-bit IRIX.

In the meantime though there still will be developments. TruHobbyist is still working on a FAT32/VFAT driver last I spoke to him and he's using my incomplete libdisk/mount(1) code to help with that. Having a driver like that released will help with say adding other FS to IRIX such as ext2. It's also a pretty important step to getting mass storage for IRIX.

I'm also still working on my IRIXCE project, which is to patch security issues with the base OS, and eventually offer a repack of the existing OS with all new features. The subproject Neweoe already offers many new versions of commands. Eventually we should have something that is enticing enough there for us to start retargeting some of our third party software distributions. And hey, if people disagree with my IRIXCE's goals or anything I do here, never fear I plan to make sure that everything is as documented as possible so that people can go off and start their own projects with blackjack and hookers if they prefer.
