Jason, I in no way meant to impugn the quality of your driver. I meant
ready for use on a PPC machine. If you need anyone to help with the
testing of the driver on a big endian machine I'd be happy to help out.
I've got netbsd MacPPC current running and compiling on my SuperMac C500
(603e@200Mhz). It's the least I, as a nonprogrammer, can do to help out
the people who make open software possible. Again, aything I can do I will.
cheers,
Matthew Reilly
