I agree, mucking about with the PCNet driver led me to similar
conclusions. I assume that the underlying Plan 9 design greatly
simplifies device driver implementation.
Pity about VGA, admittedly, but I'm sure we're not far from a
simplified VGA driver design. It's worth waiting until the game
developers hit an unsurmountable performance wall and rediscover the
joys of standardisation.
As for 9load, it may grate to the Bell Labs purist, but sharing
drivers between /sys/src/9 and /sys/src/boot would be a definite win,
even if the odd #ifdef has to be brought into use :-)
