The problem is that I'm not real sure where to find OpenBSD 2.2, and
as far as I knew, the port was discontinued after 2.3. 
Perhaps you can point me in the direction on where to find these
older versions?

Yeah, I've been copying files onto a 540mb Hard Drive, which is a big
pain. I'm about to get a 1542 Controller, and probably a BusLogic one
too, just to try them both out. I'm pretty positive that the Tyne
won't support a ATAPI CD, so I gotta find a CD drive too.
