Now, if I only could code I could help for real. :)

Tried it and nothing at all happens. Like Blaz said (in a private
email), it's like the fifo is placed somewhere else or some
initialization is missing for this particular type of lcg.
Never did try with any more delays though. I'm waiting for documents
from the Linux/vax guy that Blaz corresponded with when they were
developing their drivers. Perhaps something will reveal itself, but I
wouldn't hold my breath though...
That's why I would like to see people with /60 try it out too.
