I've been working on a driver for the 6601/6602.  It's not fully
functional yet, but at least some things work.  I've tested digital
in, digital out, counters in various modes including quadrature
(except quadrature x2 and x4).  There's a bug in the MITE
initialization that I haven't yet tracked down that is preventing
quadrature x2 and x4 from working properly.  I haven't done anything
with the timers yet.  There isn't much of an api yet -- you specify
offsets and values to configure the card.  I'd be happy to share what
I've got so far.
