Well, at least on my Mac IIci, the -current stuff is working just fine. I
spent quite a bit of time debugging the MRG code to get the interrupts
turned on on the IIci, as well as putting in some code to ignore a
spurious PostEvent ( 0xa02f ) trap. I think you can get the kernel
puma.bevd.blacksburg.va.us - I've forgotten the directory, but the kernel
name is netbsd.040895
