About a year ago, I tried to adapt siop to a Macintosh Nubus Jackhammer
card (that would be 53c720). I recall not doing much more than BEing the
register offset #defines and finally copying the osiop byte lane/word lane
#defines that Izumi Tsutsui pointed to.

If you'd like to have a look at them, I can send you my changes.

I never really got very far, so, of course, there could be problems lurking
that I haven't encountered yet.
