I like it. I wonder what the legal status of the logo is... Should we ask
permission somewhere (Hasbro????).

That's another option. It probably circumvents cright issues...

Some remarks:
- Circad Leonardo 24-bit true color video is supported & new
- The Mega-ST & PAK stuff should probably be dropped.
The "software-issues" and "History" pages are too empty... Maybe I can
flesh out the history page a little? I mean, there is a development
path in the NetBSD support: TT -> Falcon -> Hades. However, more than
half a page is impossible I think.

Good. I'll put together a send-pr ASAP.

Great! I haven't gotten to it myself because I have stability problems on
my Hades PCI-bus :-( I am trying to find a solution together with the
hardware developer, but until now no luck. Currently my Hades crashes once
or twice a day during access to the AHA2940UW. Far from ideal for building
snapshots...
