I wrote a 1740 enhanced mode driver for Mach/OSF. This is included in 
the current release of OSF/1 MK (NORMA_14). CMU and OSF periodically
reconcile their code, so that driver should soon find its way into
Mach. The port should be painless as I tested and debugged my code with
MK77, only later modifying it for OSF/1. I send a copy of the code to
Alessandro Forin at CMU, just to let him know it exists.

I have also heard rumours of another 1740 enhanced mode driver, but did not
pursue them.
