By the way, Warner, I'm always happy to test/help debug anything you've got that might get my TP380 working with NEWCARD. It uses some Cirrus Logic chip (don't have the exact number to hand right now). I haven't updated that machine in a while, but NEWCARD couldn't find anything to talk to a month or so ago, the last time I tried it.
