I'm running MK77 UX37 now. Note that (at least my system) is a bit short
of what I would consider "stable".

They are continuing to work on it.

Both scsi chips are supported (at the moment the 6250 driver is more advanced
than the dp8350 driver).

I would want to check with JVH first but I could make *differences*
available for ftp. I think he wanted to get the 532 support submitted
to CMU before it becomes widely distributed. Making use of the diffs
would still require you having supped MK77 and UX37 from cmu, the
latter (still) requires an AT&T source licence.

Be warned, that the whole thing is still not really very stable, nor
is it easy to build/install/boot. Unless you are interested in doing
some debugging, it is still not really "ready".

Having said that, if you do have a source licence and you are
interested and capable of doing kernel work, the more people working
on it the better!
