Some things I note about UDI is the large SCO input, that immediatelly makes me cautious of such a system and the rather conspicious lack of drivers...

True, that raised my eyebrows at first but you need to bear it mind when UDI first got off the ground (around 1999-time) and SCO's recent history of buy-outs, renaming, linux firtation and not litigation. I'm not sure if if really the same company anymore.

I think it's "clean".

But it is exactly the sort of thing we need.

Sure is.

...but I notice that there don't seem to be many drivers for it [UDI]

So then you've got a choice....

1. Write all your own drivers for AROS
2. Write all your own drivers for AROS using UDI, where they be usable to any other OS that supports UDI.

Hey!  Then if there's some useful drivers other OSs might use UDI!
Hey!  Then they might write their own drivers that AROS will be able to use!

Geddit?

That's the spirit!!

If I had the time (and some lower-level coding ability) I'd join in with you!
