Well, I'm not best qualified to answer this, but basically it's a fake VIA2
chip with nearly, but not quite, the same register set/interface as a
proper VIA2.  It handles, among other things, the slot interrupts on LCs,
IIsis, IIv{i,x}, I think, probably quite a bunch of performas (500 series,
600 series).

And I;m trying to persuade the one in my LCIII to give me ethernet
interrupts but not video interrupts, or alternatively, find out how to deal
with the video interrupts.

P.S. You don't quite qualify for the coconut yet ;-)
