The stuff Michael worked on works _excellently_ for my 4000/200s.  I've
brought the system up multiuser, recompiled a kernel (via NFS), and will
test installing to/booting from a drive on a CMD SCSI controller real soon
now (tm).  The internal SGEC works great, as does the DELQA that I slotted
into the machine.

About the only thing which is flakey is the tk50, but I'm not sure if
that's a general problem or a "it's time to clean the tape drive" problem
;-)
