Yes, we do have such a beast. We initially developed it on a Sun-3/50 and later
migrated to SS-1's. Several early (and quite buggy!) versions got out to a
variety of people. We recently redid the whole thing and that hasn't been
released yet. One of the main reasons it hasn't gone out yet is that we
depend on Sun's lower layer; i.e., we have been using the synchronous zs
driver they supply with their Sunlink products. Yes, we have our own, but I'm
not enthusiastic about maintaining that one. Much easier to use a tiny piece
of Sunlink. Except for the license problems....
