My understanding is that the am7930 ISDN interface was a forward-thinking
engineering decision when it was included on the maxine. Unfortunately
it wasn't implemented correctly, and hence they come with the ISDN
connection covered over. I think the implementation in the sparc is
usable but AFAICS they cannot do DMA to the chip like the maxine.
