I seem to remember seeing the odd post here and there over the 2 years
which confirms it is a custom fvdi version

I know that up to a certain point sources were available, but that was
12+ months ago now, and there were at least a couple of serious fvdi
fixes done after "no sources"

There should be more specifics available re: fvdi on dhs CT6X bbs board

Johan has already approved moving CVS to freemint server, but his own
CVS has only recently come back online. I think to for him it may be a
time issue

a combined effort to get fVDI into onto server needs to be done. This
would allow Didier to post/commit FireBee version as well.

The result of this, plus some pacthes/fixes might be enough to allow
res change under ARAnyM as well, and allow others to add any further
missing/needed functionality to fVDI
