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

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