A "port-sun" list seems redundant, since it's no big deal to just crosspost
anything of interest...but, if you make it, they will subscribe. ;-)

Regarding the cg4...if it's an older "Type A" cg4 card, it's not currently
supported by NetBSD 1.2, although I've now hacked up a cg4 driver for the
sun3 that works with TypeA and TypeB....waiting till after 1.2 gets released
to press for it going into the tree, but anybody who wants is more than
welcome.  Just drop me some email and I'll send it off.
