Actually ... no :( An external microcontroller hooks up to the internal keyboard/mouse, and this mcu is connected to a 6522 cell in the MacIO asic. The ADB protocol is implemented on top of a simple message passing protocol with the 6522. An excellent example of technology re-use, since this harks all the way back to the '87 Mac SE. I'm slowly getting the pieces together for this. It's not exactly user-friendly to have to hook up an external keyboard to a notebook :( > If so, I'll try to make the keyboard and mouse work with uart(4).

I don't think this works currently as the modem chip has to be enabled with some secret register bits in the MacIO asic. However, NetBSD has the code so I can pull it in. It's been on my list for a long while to cut over to the uart driver... later, Peter.

Ok, fixed and booted :) Howto: - create a number of partitions from within Disk Utility (I used HFS, but anything will do), one for each FreeBSD partitions required. These showed up as ad1s10,11,12 and 13. For booting (this is the secondary disk) I used: boot cd:,\boot\loader ultra1:10 (ultra0 and ultra1 are devaliases for first IDE disk and second IDE in OpenFirmware, as the OF command 'devalias' will tell you).
