I have the new CAM driver up to the point where I can dump a 4
disk ccd array onto a DDS-2 drive on the same string all off of
a BT-948.  I will be working on the EISA, VL, and ISA probes as
well as the error recovery code this weekend, so it should
be ready for prime-time RSN.  The driver currently supports:

	Sync/Wide/Ultra transfers (as did the old driver)
	Tagged Queueing (New Feature)
	The following number of simultaneous transactions:
		192     BT-948/958/958D
		100     BT-946C/956C/956CD/747C/757C/757CD/445C
		50      BT-545C/540CF 
		30      BT-747S/747D/757S/757D/445S/545S/542D/542B/742A

	(The old driver maxed out at 32 instead of the maximum supported
	 by the particular card model.)

The driver has been pretty much rewritten from scratch and is much
more careful about determining the feature set availbable in each
card and working around peculiarities in different firmware revisions.
Once complete, the driver will also have the full complement of
error recovery.
