Great! I should have at least 3 or 4 different devices from the EZX
platform around. I will go and search for the box over the weekend :)

I cc'ed another developer who did a lot of work regarding EZX.

Antonio, as you can see from the mail above we are pondering what who
will maintain the ezx platform in the kernel going forward. Neither
Daniel, Harald or me is going to do so. If you have time, interest and
motivation to do so please speak up. I know life moved on and you ahve
other projects and interests so do not feel pressured here. Just say no
if you have no interest. Robert already agreed to act as a fallback so
we would still be safe. :)
