I plan on doing some work on it and the dgm driver. They're almost
the same and should be merged. They both violate style(9) in almost
every way too :-[
I know of only one person with an Xem card (dgm driver), but he's
promised to send me the specs by snail mail. Once I get them, I'll
start the work.
Let's leave the `alpha' there for a little longer :-)
