For 68k, the Motorola/P&E 'ICD' cable. For Power PC, the Macraigor

We haven't figured out the exact licence terms, but the intent is that
it will be available in source form with no restrictions on

PC stuff is a new in-house design.

No, it's a totally separate driver.

Not yet, but soon maybe ... I'll contact you by e-mail when we're ready.
