| Curt's 1.0 patched binaries are also now there.

| Also, there's a new directory (pub/NetBSD/useful-stuff) with my port of the
| latest ncr driver from FreeBSD (try it if you have an 810, 815, or 825 and

| port of the FreeBSD 2940 driver from Germany, neither of which have yet made
| it into the tree, though I hope they eventually will.

The 2940 driver happens to be my port of the FreeBSD driver further enheanced
by an other german guy (I can't rember his name at the moment).
