I have patches that should get the mmu working with the 260. What is needed
now is an ethernet and SCSI driver. Without them the machine is pretty
useless :)
We already have net drivers based on the i82586 ethernet which should be a
start. Speaking of which, I wonder why they don't all use some common code
(i82586.h would be a good start). It seems a waste.
