My guess is, the thing to do is merge the FW stuff from MkLinux driver 
and see what still works. Slight problem with that driver is it knows 
what hardware you have by what machine it determines you have. FW, 
Big/Little endian configurations figured out on the spot. It'd be better 
to recognize those attributes by examining the controller.

Since my C110 has a fast/wide, and so does my 735, I'm in the bad spot 
of never really having either machine fully boot up. The CDROM drive I 
have doesn't "like" RW discs, so I'd love to see someone stamp out a 
Woody-ish master that I can read from.

FWD disks on 53c720 on C110 should work these days.  Either use a recent
kernel, or use the workaround in the 0.9.3 ISO errata.  They wont work on
the 735 because the processor on that box doesn't support consistent
memory (pci_alloc_consistent() fails).

My parisc boxes don't like CD-RW disks either, but are quite happy with
CD-R disks I burn myself.
