Opinions, no.  Information, yes.  I'm passing this on as a courtesy to
RasterOps, which doesn't have net access.  RasterOps is a Sun Catalyst
vendor; standard Sun disclaimers apply.

If you mean, "is their driver shipped as part of SunOS?" then no, it's
not.  If you mean, "once I install the software supplied with the board,
is it binary compatible with an existing cg8 application?" then yes, it
is.  Requires SunOS 4.0.3c or SunOS 4.1.

RasterOps is working on that now, to be available in April, I'm told.
