SHould I ever get time, I'm going to finish my work on a driver for the
PackeTwin.  My current work is based on the register information from the
provided Gracilis driver; I'll have to find out just how much of a problem
that is (Bdale, you're out here, right?  Any ideas?)  I originally asked for
just a hardware description instead of code to work from, specificaly to
avoid such entanglements, but was unsuccessful.  (It being obvious that a
Z8530 SCC register description would be insufficient.)
