Folks,

mainly for the application folks within my company I summarized the
following.
I completely skipped all technical H/W related enhancements - I purely
focussed on topics a programmer may be interested in. You may see a value
in this as well ... if not: just delete the eMail!

Best regards, Adnreas Schmidt, CSC, Germany
