?  do you mean tickling the power bit in the control reg of the rtc?  it
works fine over here.. (new 1850 timer in turbo/ non turbo slab).  I'll be
getting an original 030 cube pretty soon, so one of us will have one of
those to hack on..

yes.  your work was immensely helpful.  my initial nextlinux work will
hopefully act as a catalyst and suck some 68k linux hackers into beating
on the next hardware..

I have the mono and c16 displays working under linux, and have some ideas
about the non adb keyboard/mouse.  anyone can feel free to drop me some
mail if they want more info.  most interestingly there is an additional
chunk of memory per frame buffer that the prom describes as
'backingstore', I have yet to play with this at all..
