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.
