-Notes for the QLogic ISP1020 PCI SCSI Driver revision 0.6.
+Notes for the QLogic ISP1020 PCI SCSI Driver:
 
-This software should be considered ***BETA***.
+This driver works well in practice, but does not support disconnect/
+reconnect, which makes using it with tape drives impractical.
 
-Be sure to include PCI BIOS support when rebuilding the kernel.
+It should work for most host adaptors with the ISP1020 chip.  The
+QLogic Corporation produces several PCI SCSI adapters which should
+work:
 
-The QLogic Corporation produces several PCI SCSI adapters:
+	* IQ-PCI
+	* IQ-PCI-10
+	* IQ-PCI-D
 
-	PCI-basic
-	IQ-PCI
-	IQ-PCI-10
-	IQ-PCI-D
+This driver may work with boards containing the ISP1020A or ISP1040A
+chips, but that has not been tested.
 
-This driver should work for all these adapters, except for the PCI-basic which
-does not use the ISP1020 chip.  If you have the QLogic PCI-basic there is a
-an am53c974 driver that supports your adapter.
+This driver will NOT work with:
 
-Much thanks to QLogic's tech support for providing the latest ISP1020 firmware,

+	* ISA or VL Bus Qlogic cards (they use the 'qlogicfas' driver)
+	* PCI-basic (it uses the 'am53c974' driver)

+Much thanks to QLogic's tech support for providing the latest ISP1020
+firmware, and for taking the time to review my code.
