Charles Hannum, Chuck Cranor, and I hacked on the xd driver for a while
one day a few weeks ago ... got it "almost working" ... Still a few
dvma-related oddities ... I have some local changes to my copy of the xd
driver, but Gordon has done some more work on the master version
recently. Eventually, I'll have the chance to update my local tree at
home and I can send the changes to Gordon...
