That's us 8-).  By a happy coincidence, we have had a NeXt system in
my office for the last few days (along with a Sparcstation, Solbourne,
Data General Aviion, and IBM 6000, you'd probably love my office
equipment 8-), and have been porting the SLAT to it.  It should be
finished in less than a week.  No drivers are involved, we use a
daemon that runs in the background.  And of course, no kernel
rebuilding.  If you want more information, please email
sales@zardoz.cpd.com or call (800)433-6784 and ask for sales.
