..while on the topic of terminals and SPARCs etc., I understand
that the pcons(?) driver for NetBSD/SPARC is basically a frontend
for the PROM console-driver? I am very right now in need of writing
a console-driver for UltraSPARC-1, and well if there is a PROM
interface I can use and the NetBSD sources will help me figure it
out it would be great. Is it correct that the PROM in SPARCs have a
interface for its internal terminal-driver that I can use in
"applications" (e.g. a kernel)?
