Thanks for the compliment

To prevent getting lost in the list archive, I suggest

diff --git a/TODO b/TODO
index 93f3194..c5db6bd 100644
--- a/TODO
+++ b/TODO
@@ -4,6 +4,9 @@

 - PXELINUX: Support changing the default server and boot file prefix?

+- PXELINUX wish: add function that writes 0x55 in highmemory
+- PXELINUX wish: add function that report addresses that not contian 0x55
+
 - Support loading a new configuration file.

 - Library support for "shuffle and boot" extension.
