I'm using a PMAGB-BA with standard clock on a 5000/133 under 1.3.2, and
I've found the cursor off position as well, but not by very much: it's 4
pixels too high, and one or two pixels to the right.

Also in the 'someone might like to know' department, I recently tried to
netboot a 5000/133, KN02-BA 5.7j, using another 5000/25 1.3.2 as host,
after I did Something Very Stupid with its disk. I failed, and
subsequently found that this PROM (5.7j) is described as unable to boot
via tftp on www.netbsd.org. *But*, when I first installed NetBSD on this
machine, I *did* boot it via tftp, without a hitch; only in that case,
the host was a Unixware 2.x machine.
