I have a driver for the Ikonas 3000 that runs under 4.2BSD.  It is basically
the Adage-supplied one (which is really Ron Gordon's driver) rewritten
to run under 4.2 and provide the same interface.  It also has a few
improvements.  Ron also has a copy of it.  Since it's really his driver,
I'd prefer that people request it from him first, unless you already
are running his driver and just want the changed version for 4.2.
Ron's address is allegra!rdg.

Warning: even when you get the new driver, you can't run the Ikonas
acceptance tests.  The diagnostics use octal format all over the place,
and the 4.2BSD F77 library doesn't support octal anymore.
Has anyone gotten around this?
