Have you looked at the new driver template code? I'm not a developer, but this sounds
like the most logical place to start. Using the template code and changing the
registers appropriately to suit the mach64 seems like the best way to avoid duplicate
code while getting the core of the driver up to where all of the other drivers are.
And it'd be pretty cool to have your name in the CHANGELOG as the primary developer
for v0.99.0 :)

You know as well as anyone else does that video cards are like mayflies; they're only
around for about three days :)
