So is this code publically available?  I was of the understanding that
Theo didn't want to release any code until he had CVS commit privileges?
I would like to see the sparc port alive again, and I imagine that Theo
is the person to do it, but... It is really up to _core_, not us.

Great!  Where's the code? (my 4/110 wants SCSI...)
