IBM are strange. Bits of IBM are pro or for Linux. I've already been in
the ridiculous situation of helping one bit of IBM with some Linux driver
work while not having full documentation because another bit of IBM wouldnt
give it out.

Each faction seems to have its own philosophy - we've been chasing documentation
on the IBM mwave sound cards for years for example.
