^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300  4) The sym53c500_cs Driver
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300  5) =======================
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300  6) 
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300  7) The sym53c500_cs driver originated as an add-on to David Hinds' pcmcia-cs
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300  8) package, and was written by Tom Corner (tcorner@via.at).  A rewrite was
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300  9) long overdue, and the current version addresses the following concerns:
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 10) 
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 11) 	(1) extensive kernel changes between 2.4 and 2.6.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 12) 	(2) deprecated PCMCIA support outside the kernel.

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 14) All the USE_BIOS code has been ripped out.  It was never used, and could
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 15) not have worked anyway.  The USE_DMA code is likewise gone.  Many thanks
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 16) to YOKOTA Hiroshi (nsp_cs driver) and David Hinds (qlogic_cs driver) for
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 17) the code fragments I shamelessly adapted for this work.  Thanks also to
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 18) Christoph Hellwig for his patient tutelage while I stumbled about.

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 20) The Symbios Logic 53c500 chip was used in the "newer" (circa 1997) version
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 21) of the New Media Bus Toaster PCMCIA SCSI controller.  Presumably there are
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 22) other products using this chip, but I've never laid eyes (much less hands)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 23) on one.

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 25) Through the years, there have been a number of downloads of the pcmcia-cs
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 26) version of this driver, and I guess it worked for those users.  It worked
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 27) for Tom Corner, and it works for me.  Your mileage will probably vary.
