Hi J.

I've got a 3/80 at home with a cgfour. I've not tried the cgfour yet,
and I don't even have NetBSD installed right now - but if you want to
start integrating that code then I should be able to set up a test
environment pretty damn quick. The only problem right now is that I
don't have a spare colour multisync monitor (or a Sun original) - but
I can always borrow from the wife's PC ;-)
