Well, let's call them "relatively" recent... :-)

Is it perhaps possible to cheese around it using

	"if (hardware ==  SB_HW_JAZZ16)"

type constructs (and maybe some "if (dma > 3)" elsewhere if needed)? If 
this would be a small change, maybe's it's worth it. And maybe not.

I'm at the moment playing with a few different cards due to them having 
a mitsumi CD-ROM controller and me just having dug up a mitsumi CD-ROM 
but I'll wait for a next complete iteration of the jazz16 patch and then 
give it a once-over and some testing again (feel free to ask for specifc 
tests as well).

Then after that you/we should seriously start poking Belay...

Rene.
