Re: 4000-705A?

Speaking of the DSSI stuff, I has been itching for doing that (and CI) 
for a long time, but I never seem to be able to get the time and 
equipment lined up. And I did plan to be inspired by the Ultrix code... 
Which might in some sense be questionable, but better than nothing.

Part of the problem is that native building have been broken for so 
long, and I've been just trying from time to time to poke some at the 
more basic stuff.
