I'm not aware of anybody actively using these anymore. They are
mid-nineties vintage with an M68K processor onboard. I ran a couple of
these when they were new but haven't had a working board in probably a
decade.

No objections to Salvatore's patch but I have a slight affinity for
retiring unused code over patching it. So unless there are objections...
