I've just put a (compressed) floppy image to
zelof1.zel.kfa-juelich.de:/pub/NetBSD/netbsd-pcitest.fd.gz.

This is with a modified PCI probe but without
"PCI_PROBE_DONTKNOW". The "DONTKNOW"
can't be used anyway. It helps for Compaq but it makes
the mode-1 probe too weak, as Manuel found with
an old mode-2 machine.
Connectix claims that they emulate a Triton, so I'm
optimistic that it is sufficient.
