Thank you, such information is always appreciated!  We don't have all
possible hardware to test on ourselves and rely on user feedback to
let us know how we're doing!  I will make a note that there's still
some problems with the ATI Mach 64, or that a possible configuration
problem exists.  The failure to boot with the 2940 under 0412-SNAP is
also disturbing and I'm sure Justin will follow up to it.

Thanks again!
