Justin T. Gibbs 0ef8c3017a John Aycock's aic7770 sequencer code and assembler. There is currently
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.

This is VERY MUCH ALPHA SOFTWARE. You MUST know what you're doing to
use this, or else!!!
Ok, everything's been renamed to reference an "aic7xxx" driver instead
of "aha274x", and a merger of the two PCI patches I had has been put in,
along with re-doing the detection and configuration routines. To summarize
the status: it compiles cleanly. I don't expect it to work off the bat,
but it's for the 294x development people to synchronize their code
together.
The file scsi-diffs-1.1.59 is NOT a proper patch file, but some diffs
to kernel files concatenated together. I've sent these off to Drew,
but if you're testing this you'll have to apply them - it allows a
per-driver-instance can_queue variable, which for the aic7xxx driver
is the number of SCBs the card supports.
Good luck! I await your comments.. Mark, Alan - let me know where I
broke it, please ;-)
