If your 5000/200 has a graphics console, can you please test the kernel
in ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/arch/pmax/5100test/kern.tgz ?  Just
booting to single user and being able to type something in the shell
would be a good test.  It's basically a 1.4.1 kernel - if you could test
that X works (just the keyboard and mouse), that'd be really good.

The kernel has almost working 5100 support, and I needed to change some
serial stuff which hopefully didn't bugger up the keyboard of machines
that use the same serial chip as the 5100 (the "dc" driver) for their
keyboards.

Ta,
Simon.
