Not far enough, sorry. I don't have an EISA alpha, nor the time to do the job right. It's not just a case of writing an EISA attachment, unfortunately.

I could never justify the time involved, sorry. 8( To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
