Perhaps Nicolas, but ATM I am having it shoved down my throat because I 
am playing with using a raspberrypi 3b to run a 1500 lb metal lathe, and 
for some reason the boot partition is dos, but mounted as /boot to armhf 
version of the debian jessie currently installed. Seems to me the r-pi 
bios needs fixed to boot from an ext4 file system.  But I'm not in 
charge of such, can't even blow the whistle. I'm still kicking the tires 
on the whole idea. Using the SPI bus at 32 megabaud to talk to the 
peripheral driver that runs the machine, I am finding that the noise 
radiated by the motor supplies, which are switchmode, running at 17-19 
kilohertz, have enough radiated noise to wreck a 32 megabuad 
communications bus 7 inches long.  So I am cabbaging filter parts from 
old computer psu's to see if I can quiet these power supplies down to a 
dull roar.  A film at 11 situation I fear.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
