You probably misunderstood my CVS log texts or may-be you were expected a chinese version of the logs to also be made available. There is no serious bug in the sym driver from March 4.0-RELEASE that prevents it from working just fine for the SYM53C895 and probably for everything different from the SYM53C1010-66. You may want to let me know what is unclear for you in the output of `cvs log' since the RELEASE and I will try to explain you what the change was intended to do. Btw, if the driver had been as broken as you seem to think, for sure flooded with PRs I would have been. > If so, does anyone want to build me some boot floppies :-) > > Alec Gerard.
