I just pinged him the other day about this, and I've enclosed his response. Rod Grimes will most likely be the one incorperating the patches into FreeBSD, but we have to get him a replacement ESDI drive for his 50Z first. :) --- Begin forwarded message Date: Wed, 12 Apr 1995 07:25:16 +1000 (WET) From: Peter May <bruce!peter@osix.osix.oz.au> To: osix!gibbs@estienne.cs.berkeley.edu Subject: Re: MCA support for FreeBSD References: <199504102130.OAA00583@estienne.cs.berkeley.edu> G'Day Justin, Excerpts from mail: 10-Apr-95 MCA support for FreeBSD @estienne.cs.berkeley.ed (441) > There was some talk about MCA support for FreeBSD, and you're names > were mentioned.

I have 2.0-R/MCA running on one machine here, Armin is testing on his PS/2 Model 70 over there. Once we are happy with it, we'll let you have it! Armin is pretty busy, but that's the last stumbling block before we give it back.
