	Is there any chance for this driver to have better author's
support than Cronyx/Sigma (cx) from the same source ?

	After initial import of 'cx' driver in 1995 authors have not
provide changes/bug fixes for FreeBSD while changing/developing their
version of the driver (see www.cronyx.ru). And now FreeBSD (2.2.6 for
example) have old and buggy version of the driver while author's version
can not be used (without additional patches) in FreeBSD-2.2.6 and -current.

	I hope that this new 'tau' driver will be more lucky :-(
