In the meantime, I sorta have the CGD >driver working, but haven't incorporated the NetBSD changes into it. As soon as Bruce's comdriver gets in, also my multiport improvements can be put in. This doesn't do much more then simply add cgd's stuff into Bruces stuff. I don't know if the NetBSD ppl. want this stuff in but I'm almost sure.
