Just in case some people don't know it (although I'd guess most people
do!) MIPS shipped the source of most of the driver code with RISC/os. 
Doesn't help with the memory subsystem and the like of course.

Every machine shipped with an OS license, so even if you didn't get a
copy of the OS with your machine you are entitled to it...getting a copy
may be the difficult bit :-)
