Hi David
the code for 817 has been already merged in the repository and now I'm 
working on 857.
My plans are to publish 857 code not later then next monday asking all 
you out there to stress the code to point out any bug.

As of today the status is:
- 817 (nd and not nd) is supposed to work, i have uncommitted changes in 
the code mainly to be able to reuse it for 857
- 857 (non nd) code can clone in and out, set most memories details but 
more investigation on odd split settings is needed

Someone told me that 897 is bit to bit compatible with 857, can you confirm?
I mean is it really possible to clone from 857 to 897 and viceversa?
