Hi,

I just wanted to let you know, that a new version of the driver for the
Tekram DC3x5 is out there, 1.25.
http://www.garloff.de/kurt/linux/dc395/

The driver's tarball contains patches to allow integration into 2.0, 2.2.
and 2.3 kernels.

Actually, it seems that it was partially the driver's fault. The chips
collects data from the bus and is sensitive about the FIFO being flushed at
the right time ...
This should be fixed now. At the same time, a problem reported with
badblocks should be fixed.

If there are no complaints, I'll throw out some debug code and sent it off
to Linus.

Regards,
