I don't know.  I really have no clue.  I don't *think* it does.  I've
been playing with the BSD/OS driver, which has lots of  #ifdef NetBSD
in it... It *looks* just like a Cirrus 6279 - up until it won't probe
correctly, that is.  :)  (I mean, if I add the new product ID, it
still won't work...)

Cool!  Hmm.  If I wanted to play with this, how would I get involved?

(Although it may be possible for me to just boot from the floppy and
use the local CD, it turns out - this thing can *boot* from a
floppy-on-the-parallel-port!  Unfortunately, the CD doesn't seem to
spin...)
