Hi Colin, it's nice timing!
I've been restarted working on implement of sound
driver. (since last spring:-) I modified the file Scott
posted port-mac68k some month ago and got ugly harmony;-)

Which do you think it's the machine-speed problem or one
caused by difference of the sound chip?

Yes, it's cool. I'd like to do 'cp somefile /dev/audio.'
Now I'm modifying asc.c, ascvar.h and writing a new file
ascreg.h. My plan is to emulate ROM sound driver. At this
moment, I translate the ROM code to NetBSD's scheme, but
since my lack of knolwedge of device driver, things get
slow.

I ran it, but the result was always different after it
beeps. Is it OK? I'll send the result to you another mail,
anyway.
