Aron,

Sorry. I need to mark that one a BROKEN on versions > 5 until I can
get it updated. 

It does not understand devfs at the moment, so it has no chance of
working with 5.1. As we speak I am updating my 600E to 5.1 to take a
shot at fixing it, but I am not a simply turned Simon Walton's work on
this into a port, so I don't make any promises as to when or if I'll
get it fixed.
