If I had a Tadpol Sparc, I'd be happy to write drivers for it once I 
had some free time.  I'm using the SS1+ I recently got to learn

stuff.

PS
  I've got three dead SCSI controllers, a bunch of dead SCSI drives, 
and a couple of 386 motherboards that are down so my time is really 
short these days.... :(
