How does the most recent snap run?

It's not like the PCI guy and the NCR guy aren't the same guy (Stefan).

Stefan doesn't follow this list, so you may want to contact him
directly.  I can almost guarantee an "update to -current" response...


Is this a standard NCR controller, or is it something other than
the 800 series (like the 700 series used on Compaq box motherboards?).
