Hi Hugh,
I've sent this reply to the list as I think that the others may have 
some interest in your ideas.

It may be possible to implement the ODB1850?? (I can't remember exactly 
what it is called) standard which has been mentioned previously on 
this list.  I guess it has a standard protocol for data monitoring.  
Anyone care to shed some light on this??

If there is no suitable standard then maybe we could define one which 
allows for tuning / monitoring / downloading? which could be 
inplemented in the EFI332 or other projects.  This would allow a 
suite of tuning, telemetry, etc tools to be developed which could 
work for a generic EFI system.
