Well - if you wanna start writing drivers for emu cards - check out
http://www.jungo.com/products-wdplx.html which has DK stuff for the PLX
9052 chipsets which are the core of the Bos and Afinity emu cards.

There is a linux-sna project about, but it has been an on-again
off-again thing as far as I can tell.  I've been waiting for it to get
to the point that I can write drivers for emulator cards, so I can then
write a tn5250 module for it, but I haven't heard anything from Mike
Madore (the person who started this project and was working on the
linux-sna project).

Last I heard it was alpha-quality software.

Mike, any comments?
