But we could consider the Dragonball support for removal. I keep it compiling, but I don't use it and can't test that it actually works. Not sure that it has been used for a very long time now. And I didn't even realize but its serial driver (68328serial.c) was removed in 2015. No one seems too have noticed and complained. Regards Greg > 5. K210 was added in 2020.
