[this space for rent] A possibly impertinent question: has anyone out there ported layers (for the dmd5620) to BSD4.2? I took a look at the sources for sysV, and it looked like this would be a very messy job involving kernal hacking, and I'd really rather avoid the effort if it has already been done.

I am actively working on the xt(4) driver under 4.3BSD. This should also work under 4.2 with little change. However, there is a protocol bug I have not yet traced related to the use of double buffering. If and when this is solved, word will be posted to net.unix-wizards and the INFO-BLIT mailing list at BRL.ARPA. If there is a DMD protocol expert out there, I would love to hear from you.
