I would also be interested to hear if someone has tried this. I have a
Radius Rocket and I've seen some odd behavior from it, but I haven't
investigated, yet, to see exactly what's going on. The Daystar boards
are _very_ different from what I can tell, and probably stand a better
chance of working.

Who knows? ;-) Last I heard, Apple was still spec'ing out the low-level
(register definition, etc.) parts of CHRP... It'll be a while...
