3ce680f86e Mainly cosmetic cleanups... It now uses more consistant message reporting
on the console, and no longer uses "SLXOS" which I suspect may be a
trademark... (I'm not sure, but this is not really a SLXOS driver anyway)

95dd59f2ae Bring in my long-overdue version of the Specialix driver.
This was originally ported to BSDI by Andy Rutter <andy@acronym.co.uk>.
At the end of the day, this code has very little in common with Andy's
version, or the Specialix SYSV version.  Essentially it has been gradually
and almost completely rewritten, with LOTS of advice and inspiration from
Bruce Evans.  There are a couple of missing bits still, but they are minor.

The user-mode "sicontrol" program is in sad shape and will come in soon.
Transparent printing died a timely death.. Maybe later..

Jeremy Rolls @ Specialix (Development directory) has confirmed this is OK
to distribute, and Andy personally sent me his version that I started from.

Although this driver stood up to a nasty stress-test in this form, I am not
confident that there are no nasty bugs lurking.

People are welcome to try it, but dont go out and buy one just yet.. :-)
And *DONT* use it on a mission-critical machine... This is ALPHA QUALITY!
