Hello,

a new testkernel is available here:
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/misc/macallan/sparc/SPARCbook3GX_07_01.bz2

changes:
- fixed a bug that would occasionally panic the kernel when attaching
the PCMCIA controller=20
- fixed a glitch that prevented the LCD from indicating a PCMCIA card
when the card is present at boot time
- added Xircom and modem drivers.
- both keyboard and mouse attach to zstty now ( same code as sparc64 )

The rest is as before - drivers for wi and IDEish cards, MSDOS
filesystem, wscons with acceleration and virtual consoles, drivers for
all officially supported sparcbook hardware, CPU power saving, proper
envsys- and powerd support.

No news on X though - I didn't get the graphics chip to switch to 16 or
32bit colour yet, the SPARCbook 3 Technical Manual is incomplete and at
times misleading.

have fun
Michael
