I have compiled a new Usgard version of the Expander Driver software.
See my webpage for more information.

Contrary to what the Usgard documentation says, Andreas and I have
decided NOT to include direct expander support into Usgard as
originally planned.  This is because we realize that people care so
much about OS size, and also only a small percentage of Usgard users
will have an Expander (even though over 75 of them now exist), so it's
just not byte-economical to include such functions into Usgard.  With
OS's like Supernova etc. coming around, Usgard must do everything
possible to stay the leader.  Funny how the new OS's are planning "new
and awesome" functions that just also happen to be present in Usgard.
Hmm...

Anyways, very soon I will be starting an Expander library for Usgard,
which will allow you to use the Expander's memory in your own
programs.  That should be done soon.  The library will exclusively be
for Usgard, btw.
