Yes and no.
I'm going to be doing a DSSI driver as soon as I finish the SGEC driver. The
bad news is that the 3400's DSSI port uses a different device than the SHAC
found in my 4000/300 (and in all of the 4000-series boxes from the 200 to at
least the 600; dunno what CPU the 700 uses).

It would help, but what would help more is getting a copy of the CPU tech
reference manual for that system. (It's likely to be EK-KA640-TM, and cost
about $125.)
