Requests 2 XO-1.5's and 2 Serial Adapters over undetermined months<br>
<br>
Project Objectives:<br>
Add version support to the Sugar data store. Since data store<br>
performance directly impacts user experience, direct testing on the<br>
XO-1.5 with the built-in MicroSD card (=> slow write performance
[5]<br>
in general, potentially write amplification effect) would be very<br>
useful.<br>
<br>
Additionally I'm -- as Bernie Innocenti phrased it --<br>
"hacking all over the place", including kernel and hardware work. My<br>
offer to diagnose & repair XOs (keeping in mind that I don't have<br>
advanced equipment like a scope - got everything list for the<br>
Repair Center Kit [21], though) still holds as well.<br>
