You could always write your own. The biggest issue after getting it to
work is knowing/discovering the work arounds for various CPU bugs that may
pop up. I guess that Compaq would be much less willing to tell people
about these than releasing an example or working PALcode that people
can freely* use (SDK 4.0 etc).
