A rewrite was 9*110a89b1SMauro Carvalho Chehablong overdue, and the current version addresses the following concerns: 10*110a89b1SMauro Carvalho Chehab 11*110a89b1SMauro Carvalho Chehab (1) extensive kernel changes between 2.4 and 2.6. 12*110a89b1SMauro Carvalho Chehab (2) deprecated PCMCIA support outside the kernel. 13*110a89b1SMauro Carvalho Chehab 14*110a89b1SMauro Carvalho ChehabAll the USE_BIOS code has been ripped out. It was never used, and could 15*110a89b1SMauro Carvalho Chehabnot have worked anyway. The USE_DMA code is likewise gone. Many thanks 16*110a89b1SMauro Carvalho Chehabto YOKOTA Hiroshi (nsp_cs driver) and David Hinds (qlogic_cs driver) for 17*110a89b1SMauro Carvalho Chehabthe code fragments I shamelessly adapted for this work. Thanks also to 18*110a89b1SMauro Carvalho ChehabChristoph Hellwig for his patient tutelage while I stumbled about. 19*110a89b1SMauro Carvalho Chehab 20*110a89b1SMauro Carvalho ChehabThe Symbios Logic 53c500 chip was used in the "newer" (circa 1997) version 21*110a89b1SMauro Carvalho Chehabof the New Media Bus Toaster PCMCIA SCSI controller. Presumably there are 22*110a89b1SMauro Carvalho Chehabother products using this chip, but I've never laid eyes (much less hands) 23*110a89b1SMauro Carvalho Chehabon one. 24*110a89b1SMauro Carvalho Chehab 25*110a89b1SMauro Carvalho ChehabThrough the years, there have been a number of downloads of the pcmcia-cs 26*110a89b1SMauro Carvalho Chehabversion of this driver, and I guess it worked for those users. It worked 27*110a89b1SMauro Carvalho Chehabfor Tom Corner, and it works for me. Your mileage will probably vary. 28*110a89b1SMauro Carvalho Chehab 29*110a89b1SMauro Carvalho ChehabBob Tracy (rct@frus.com) 30
