The hardware manufacturer claimed, when somebody inquired some time ago,
that it should just work, in A2065 compat mode, with NetBSD, and refused
to disclose any further hardware details.

I very much doubt that, even for the AmigaOS case. As long as it mimics a 
A2065, it should be slower than the Ariadne, AFAIK.

Well, _if_ there are additional hardware features, they are secret,
and so there is no driver for them in NetBSD. Complain to the hardware 
manufacturer in this case.
