Ah, sorry, I didn't meant to give the impression that the kernels didn't
work at all... as far as I know, they've always worked :) Looking through
my old mail logs, I got the ROM ADB vectors for the 660av working around
May '96, so it'd at least boot into single user mode. Some hacking to the
old scsi96 driver got me into multiuser mode around October '96. I then
started looking at the ptest040 stuff and got the video working around
December '96...

Yeah, that's what I figured... 256-color mode does have a different
offset, BTW...

Well, good luck on getting all of that stuff working! :) Let me know if
you'd like me to try patches out or anything on my 660av!
