I think macfb could be replaced entirely by simplefb and some nubus drivers, now that nubus has actual drivers under the Linux driver model (as of Linux v4.16). > I suppose we can just tell people to manage the serial switch setting in > MacOS, but that seems clumsy. No need for MacOS. As of Linux v5.1 you can configure SCC IOP bypass using /dev/nvram on 68k Macs. (I wonder whether PRAM reset would enable or disable bypass...)
