1 | The sym53c500_cs driver originated as an add-on to David Hinds' pcmcia-cs |
2 | package, and was written by Tom Corner (tcorner@via.at). A rewrite was |
3 | long overdue, and the current version addresses the following concerns: |
4 | |
5 | (1) extensive kernel changes between 2.4 and 2.6. |
6 | (2) deprecated PCMCIA support outside the kernel. |
7 | |
8 | All the USE_BIOS code has been ripped out. It was never used, and could |
9 | not have worked anyway. The USE_DMA code is likewise gone. Many thanks |
10 | to YOKOTA Hiroshi (nsp_cs driver) and David Hinds (qlogic_cs driver) for |
11 | the code fragments I shamelessly adapted for this work. Thanks also to |
12 | Christoph Hellwig for his patient tutelage while I stumbled about. |

14 | The Symbios Logic 53c500 chip was used in the "newer" (circa 1997) version |
15 | of the New Media Bus Toaster PCMCIA SCSI controller. Presumably there are |
16 | other products using this chip, but I've never laid eyes (much less hands) |
17 | on one. |
18 | |
19 | Through the years, there have been a number of downloads of the pcmcia-cs |
20 | version of this driver, and I guess it worked for those users. It worked |
21 | for Tom Corner, and it works for me. Your mileage will probably vary. |
