Re: X11 & Sbus devices

[Stephan Marwedel <lists%jucara.org@localhost>]

I still run NetBSD on my Ultra 1 which has an SBus Creator 3D card and
I enjoy that it still runs the latest NetBSD. Although this is not my
daily driver, I really enjoy running a modern operating system on
ancient hardware. 

So I would request to leave the code in.
