The *nix problem are the 6502 controlled serial ports,
I think. How hard
could it be to write drivers or whatever to resolve the issue?
I think the bigger problem is the SCSI access...
I think there's some IOP DMA issues.
The problem's not drivers -- just the total lack of documentation
on how the stuff works.
I don't think Apple's interested in putting the hardware info
and software info out on the net.
Unfortunately, not everything's as easy to get docs on as DEC gear.
