Hi,

I had some partial success with the Egret ADB controller used in my
MacIIvi (equiv. to IIsi, IIvx ?). 

Until now, the ADB controller just stopped dead when booting (thus said
my oscilloscope). This may be due to a lost interrupt in  VIA1. 
During the boot process, the ADB chips signals that is has data ready
from the external ADB bus by pulling bit 3 of vBufB (vPB3) low _and_ it
sends a dummy byte to the VIA1 shiftregister vSR to generate an
interrupt. The CPU is then supposed to pull bit 5 of vBufB (vPB5) high
to signal its attention.

When booting NetBSD, the controller tries to send data (vPB3 goes low),
but the interrupt gets lost somewhere in the initialisation, so the CPU
does not know whats up.

ADBReInit() waits for vPB3 to become high, but this will never happen as
we dont have any interrupts pending and no one fetches the data from the
ADB chip. :-(

So I wrote program that fetches data bytes from the ADB chip until vPB3
goes high (no more data in ADB chip) and then goes on to the
ADBReInit() call in adb_init(). (Time seems to be important here, so
don't put any messages on the screen between emptying the ADB chip and
calling ADBReInit) 

The good news is: CPU and ADB chip talk to each other (very busy).
The bad news is: After entering ADBReInit (trap a07b), I get lots of 
		traps a092 (Egret), each with a ' bk exit' message,
		but it never comes back from ADBReInit.

So if anyone wants to try this further (I surely will), I append part of
the modified adb_init() routine (look for WRU).

Have fun
   Walter
