I'm sorry to report that I will NOT be doing a VDH driver for 4.1aBSD.
The reason is not the technical difficulty, but politics -- the facility
where I worked was transfered (over my protests) to the control of
technically incompetent people whose ethics I find questionable.  I had
no choice but to resign my post.  I still hope someone will do it, but
I'm afraid it will not be me.

MO is wrong on one point, though -- we found the VDH very reliable, once
the hardware pecularities were understood.  Both the C and the E versions
are bitches to drive, but we never had hardware problems with the E and
only twice with the C (over a period of about eight years).  I wish the
CPU had been that reliable.....
