Wilko,
vpo (aka zip-drive support) now works for Alpha with relocatable ppc
port ranges (any range but 0x3bc will work), and native SuperI/O chipset
support for the Miata (as well as relocatable ppc port ranges for other
National Semiconductor PC873xx SuperI/O-based machines) has been
added...
Andrew

I have just committed this. It works very nicely and detects the Miata
chipset. After I added a hint to my kernel configuration about where to
relocate the ppc port, the zip+ drive started working too.
I'll give it a day to settle in -current and then I'll submit a patch to
the release engineer for 4.1 (we are in code freeze now).
