I imagine it will still be around in three years.  In ten, who knows,
but we can cross that bridge easily enough when we come to it.  Its
interface is basically standard ISA, so it would be pretty trivial to
make a variant of the PCB that strips off the CS8900 chip and replaces
it with another part, or even an ISA card socket.
