As I understand it, it's NOT functional. Scott added it so that there's a
driver for someone to play with. It should be possable to add a
driver as an lkm (it would replace the asc functions currently in
the kernel).

sys/arch/mac68k/dev/asc.c contains the current driver. It doesn't do
much of anything, except permit memory-mapping of the asc driver's i/o
space.

I think we'd all be QUITE happy if you wanted to start fussing w/ a
new audio driver. I think NetBSD in general is moving toward something
SunOS-compatable, and Machine-Independant audio'd be cool!

Take care,
