My boss Peter Galbavy wrote the original driver, but we all work 29 hour
days here at Demon and he hasn't had any time to do anything more in the
fixes department, I'd love for real work to be done on this, I use, much to
everyones amusement, an IPX for a workstation, and having the disk freeze on
you is a pain in the backside I can tell you, and everytime it happens I
have to buy my colleage a beer, he's a PC nut. :-)
I'd echo the other comments about making sure that you are free to work on
NetBSD, it would be cool to have you on board I can tell you.
