Sorry, there is a bit of a hold-up because major work is going on on the kernel
which is breaking things all over the place. Readers of tech-kern@netbsd.org
will know that the NetBSD team have recently merged in a new VM system and
there are still a few bugs. I think work on the i-cubed driver is on hold for
the moment.

Good luck.

Thanks. We're still here, but Mark has very little spare time these days. With
any luck things ought to get a bit better when we get more used to the
administrative side of running a company.

As an aside I think I have found the problem(s) with the console code which
make it not handle some modes correctly. If you have any monitor definitions
which are recognised under RiscOS but not RiscBSD (for the moment only ones for
AFK85 monitors) please could you email me and let me know what they are
(resolution and freqeuncy are sufficient if the mode is in the standard Acorn
AFK85 file).

Cheers
