ALPHA NCR53c406 SCSI driver for Linux 1.1.42 (or greater)
	written by Normunds Saumanis ([email-masked])

Announcing the release of an alpha version of a SCSI driver for cards 
based on the NCR53c406a chip - of which the Acculogic ISApport is one.

The driver is still at a rudimentary stage and only operates in slave 
DMA mode (the author is working on implementing PIO mode).  The driver 
has been extensively tested on an Acculogic ISApport card by the author. 
 Other Acculogic ISApport owners and owners of other cards utilising the 
NCR53c406 chip are invited to examine and test the driver.

The driver has been released as a patch file against the 1.1.42 Linux 
kernel and should also work with later revisions of the kernel.  The 
driver has been uploaded to:
	tsx-11.mit.edu:/incoming/acculogic-0.7.README
				/acculogic-0.7.lsm
				/acculogic-0.7.patch.gz

and should shortly be moved to:
	tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/ALPHA/scsi/acculogic-0.7.README
					    /acculogic-0.7.lsm
					    /acculogic-0.7.patch.gz

The README file contains details on installing the patch.  A mailing 
list has also been established to discuss the driver and to facilitate 
the reporting of bugs and to announce the release of new versions of the 
driver.  To subscribe to the list, send email to:
        [email-masked]
with the words:
        subscribe ncr53c406
in the body of the message.

Note: you don't have to be subscribed to the list to send in bug 
reports.  Just address your bug report to:
        [email-masked]

The driver has been released under the Gnu General Public License 
version 2.

      NT has much in common with VMS, in that it takes the entire CPU
         capability of the machine to produce a username prompt.
