You can now sling 14 devices off of a 274xT. In the process of adding
twin channel support, I removed all evident restrictions on supporting
Wide channeled devices, but I do not have a Wide controller to test them
on.
aic7770_seq.h, the pre-compiled header, is no longer needed since config
handles this dependancy.
make the sequencer code fully compatible with the aic7870 (ie 294x adaptors).
I've also added to my local mods putting the sequencer into "FASTMODE" clock.
This gives upwards of 2M/sec write preformance improvement in some scenarios.
There haven't been any reports of this causing problems, and I have been
reaping the benifits of it for more than a week now.
This also includes a new version of the pre-generated file <ugh>

a discussion going on about removing this code from the burden of the
GPL, but it won't happen before Beta, and this code should be tested
before release.
Supports 27/2842 class adaptec cards and is almost capable of supporting
aic7870 based adapters (294X series cards). It does not support Wide
controllers or the second channel on Twin boards although I have work in
progress on getting both channels and running.
I have also added a few performance improvements to this version that give
us approximately a 25% boost over the original driver. These patches have
been submitted to the author.
