Apple Platinum framebuffer driver

platinumfb0 at mainbus?

The platinumfb driver provides support for Apple Platinum graphics devices found in a couple early model PowerMacs such as the 7200.

This driver should support console output (with raster ops) and X (in unaccelerated modes).

It may be required to set the output-device to 'platinum' in Open Firmware.

The platinumfb device driver appeared in NetBSD 7.0.

The platinumfb driver was written by Sean Cole.

Early PowerMacs with the platinumfb device may not work through Open Firmware.

X(7) is pretty slow.
