I've known about the file for some time, and would be interested in
working on a driver, but I: (1) have little time to work on it (don't we
all), especially a busy semester at school to put behind me... and (2) I
don't have a working compiler setup for MacBSD right now - I wiped MacBSD
from the 80 MB drive on my Performa 460 to make way for a CS project.
In any event, I'll be poking around the sources in an attempt to convince
myself that this would be a simple thing to do...
