<DIV>Re Hermes progress - Tony has almost finished with the PCB placement and
layer planning and will start with the routing shortly.</DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Since the Metis Beta boards are working OK I can
now port the Ethernet Verilog code to the new Hermes architecture.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
