Hey, after Naoki kindly put this driver onto freefall i was able to 
fetch it and install and test it under 2.1.5R - and it works !!!!!

Now it says on every cold- or warmboot "Warning! Defective early revision
adapter!" but it works all the time.

Is this now _really_ an early revision adapter ? (Just curious ...)

Thanks a lot,
hellmuth
