How well does the driver work with the 53c895?  (Like the one that's 
on the XP1000 I just put 1.4Z on.)  I haven't noticed any troubles 
yet, but I haven't done much more than install the system and build 
a kernel. 

This discussion is on the port-alpha.  Are the driver problems platform 
related?  Does it have the same problems on i386?
