Sorry if my statement was misleading.
I didn't want to intend the sun3 driver being buggy.
What I wanted to say is:

I took the sun3 port's ncr driver and modified the code which interacts
with the DMA subsystem to work with 2000 and 3100/76. These modifications
are buggy (and/or wrong). Parts of the problems stem from DMA on 2000 and
3100/76 being quite different, and maybe it was not a good idea to try to
integrate both into one driver.

PS: If anybody is interested, I could write down some remarks about
    what I did and why I did it that way. Might be of some interest
    if anybody thinks about repairing this driver. Might be irrelevant
    if the driver is rewritten from scratch...
