Not exactly.  the mach/sun3 port was done using SunOS code, and thus
*most* of it is contaminated.  They did write a few new bits (not
drivers) and those were actually accessible as free code at one time.
I have them, and there is essentially nothing to them.

their 5380 scsi driver was written considerably after that and was
never used on the sun3 port.  It is *clean* in that sense.

later,
