Before Stomach times, I tried to make them work and I could succeed in
some case, but they're really unstable and slower than current glue,
other than ISA-only!.
My humble opinion is that no, they have not to be used.
IMHO a native Mach driver way can be used, but doesn't pass through
current native device drivers.
Thanks,
