	Hello Gerard,   In my attempts to bring one of my systems
	kicking and screaming into the 2.1.x set of kernels , I
	acquired 2.1.76 & noticed that the ncr53c8xx.c file is at
	version 2.5c & in my fervor to keep up with the ncrdriver
	I find there is not a way to go from 2.5c of this kernel
	to 2.5d the patches on linux.wauug.org go from :

	2.5-to-2.5a
	2.5a-to-2.5b
	2.5b-to-2.5d  <<< ?????  Jumps over 2.5c
	2.5d-to-2.5e  <<< Where I would like to be.

	May want to entice Linus into getting the 2.5e or 2.5d
	into the 2.1.'next' kernel . :-)

			Help please, JimL
