I've got one more: I'm waiting on a dediprog so I can upgrade the
BIOS.  The machine is stable unless I try to use gfx at the moment
because a BIOS change prevented the GPU from coming out of reset.

I was able to do some work on the VGA console side of things (adding a
couple of needed workarounds); hopefully I'll be able to refresh this
patchset this week or next and do the sprite stuff too.

Bernard's team may have one for testing by now too though; so they can
provide an answer on this thread.
