Hi,

I've uploaded a tarball which contains a binary kernel image
that can
be used to test the adbii driver.

http://www.telefonica.net/web2/marco2z/adbiiwork.tar.bz2


It contains the kernel (netbsd), the source of the
work-in-progress
driver, the conf/ subdirectory (for the kernel config) and
the
dev/adb/ files with some temporary modifications while the
driver is
being tested.

This is my dmesg with adbii:

ww.telefonica.net/web2/marco2z/dmesg

If you have one of these models:
- Centris 610
- Centris 650
- Macintosh II, IIci, IIcx, Iix
- Quadra 610
- Quadra 650
- Quadra 700
- Quadra 800
- SE/30

then I would be very thankful if you test the kernel and
tell how well
or bad it works for you.

If you do not want the kernel to mess with your current
installation,
I recommend setting the 'single user' flag in the booter.

Thanks!

Why only these models?  Is it expected to work without
problem (or not 
work at all) on others?

Different models have different ADB controllers.
