+The original version of this manual was written by Geoffroy Montel
+<g_montel@@yahoo.com>.  When he started development of the gen68340
+BSP, this manual did not exist.  He wrote the initial version of
+this manual as the result of his experiences.  At that time, this
+document was viewed internally as the most important "missing manual"
+in the RTEMS documentation set.
