Any takers? I've got the specs from FD which I'll be happy to send,
but the time to write such a driver I currently do NOT have (the
requisite skills themselves notwithstanding).

Well, I'll lend you my FD 1670. It's sitting on a shelf, along with an
Always IN-2000, because I'm too lazy, er, busy to port a driver. I'll lend
either one to anyeone interested. I got an IDE drive and controller, because
I was too cheap to buy one of those overpriced Adaptec or Buslogic cards, at
least until I get a non-ISA-only motherboard.
