The siop(4) driver supports the 810, but not the 810AP. The 810AP might
work if declared as equivalent to the 810, capabilitywise, but noone
has ever tried this.

And I can't find any mention of a 810AP is our dmesg archive - all the
real-world KZPAA I've encountered were plain 810.

Is there a way to configure FreeAXP to report a different PCI ID for the
KZPAA?
