OK great. You're the first user we've heard from in quite a while :)
Any idea what is the latest kernel version you have run on it?

I haven't because I don't really know anything about the Amiga
community, who they are, where they hang out, etc.
Please cross post this to any Amiga folks you know, or tell me where I
should post it.
We've maintained this code for over 20 years, at some point if there's
no one in the *Linux community* who cares about it then it's hard to
justify keeping it.
