Good to hear (that your A4000 is back up now, not the breakage of course
:-)

We would need something like that anyway, in order to convert drivers to
the new generic driver model, if I understand it right (the only driver
I'd _need_ to have generic driver support for would be the 91C111 for the
CT60 EtherNAT, but that one requirement stalled me for the last half year.
Well, using the Falcon as a buildd does not help either, I suppose).
Re: bus type - multiplatform support is all dead anyway so we could
instead call it 'host' or 'm68k' and collect all on-board stuff there. And
I count Nubus/Zorro as on-board here. Just keeping in mind how I got my
BUS_ATARI in the input patch shot down.
Am I mixing things up?
