Would it take a lot of work to port the driver to the new interface?

I'm not sure which SPARC machines use this particular framebuffer, but
my plans are to fix up all these old framebuffer drivers. I have already
received several Amiga (Zorro) graphics cards for testing the updated
drivers on Amiga.

It could be that I actually have this particular SPARC framebuffer in
my hardware collection.
