RBV: no. VIA: I just got some out of an old databook. I've been looking
all over the net for some, but have found nothing.

For slot stuff, we have no choice. With the ADB, the problem is that the
number of variations of ADB hardware = variations of hardware (i.e. almost
every computer is different). But for cards, the number of variations
of cards is much greater than the number of different computers. So getting
a sufficiently-faked slot manager, even if there's almost a different one
per computer, would be a win. All video cards would work in all modes,
and if we had a way to use ENET drivers, a whole lot of Ethernet drivers
would work. :-)

Take care,
