Ok SUP seems to be working now so you should be
able to get a set of sources with this driver in it..
I just made a minor change to the DEVFS registration, so what sup has is
slightly out-of date..
(get a sup tree of the kernel and replace asc.c)
make a DEVFS kernel (see ~julian/src/sys/i386/conf/ASC)
and see how it behaves.. (if that configis ok for you, I have a compiled kernel
there too)
