Indeed.

Yeah, makes it easier for others to continue the work and avoid 
duplication.

Maybe - basically I separated the ADB controller parts from bus 
enumeration and actual ADB device drivers. The stuff in dev/adb/ 
shouldn't contain any macppc-isms, all it needs is a way to send and 
receive ADB messages.
So we end up with
cuda* at obio?
pmu* at obio?
... which are more or less macppc-specific, and
nadb* at adb_bus?
adbkbd* at nadb?
adbms* at nadb?
adbbt* at nadb?
... which are machine independent.

Main advantages over the existing code are support for more than one 
instance of each ADB device, support for controlling keyboard LEDs, 
proper handling of things like caps lock, num lock etc., configurable 
mouse button emulation, and a lot less cruft.
There are a few things missing though, like apm emulation and support 
for smart batteries but at least the latter wouldn't matter on mac68k 
anyway.

have fun
Michael
