I do. Used to program Z8530's in my sleep for DUAL DMA operation to run
video teleconferencing at 3MBits/sec via satelite. was real cool.
I was thinking of the doing a driver for the Z8530, there is support
for it in Linux. On the other hand, how much trouble would it be
to hook a BSPro to one of your cards? I was going to try, but now
I can just ask you.
