Since the last three months or so ;-)
It seems to mainly affect middle-aged Quantums, but not every copy of any
model line. The recommended work-around is to switch to a kernel using the
SBC driver.
I have been collecting information on the problem. I don't know of anyone
working on it, although I can't believe nobody is. There is a report that
the Sun 3 port is affected as well (and a technical hypothesis as to the
nature of the problem). If anyone wants a data dump just email me.
Signature failed Preliminary Design Review.
Feasibility of a new signature is currently being evaluated.
