+	* revision 2.1b
+	- Cosmetic changes.
+	- Some heavy testings under pre-linux-2.1.37-6
+
+Sun May 4 22:30 1997 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* revision 2.1a
+	- PFEN wrongly used for PREFETCH feature bit testing.
+	  Changed to _F_PFEN.
+	- 2 SCR_COPY that need NO FLUSH bit to be removed had been missed 
+	  in tp->getscr[] script (loads SXFER and SCNTL3 on reselection).

+	* revision 2.1
+	- Use the NO FLUSH option for MOVE MEMORY (COPY) each time it is 
+	  possible. More than 100 COPY with NO FLUSH and 6 with FLUSH for  
+	  my configuration (max queued command / device = 8).
+	  This option bit is removed from the script instance for chips 
+	  that donnot support prefetching.
+	- Rewrite the ncr_exception() routine more simple (I think) and 
+	  remove useless code.
+	- Change the data_in and data_out script management.
+	  Use the bottom part of these scripts instead of the beginning.
+	  That avoids to zero the scatter/gather array when a command is 
+	  queued (1k) and to deal with some weird IID on MOVE 0 bytes when 
+	  a target wants to transfer more bytes than expected.
+	- Misc. improvements in the init code.
+	- Remove IOMAPPED/MMIO automatic switching option.
+	  Was useless and reported not reliable.
+	- Fix a double read of DSTAT and remove DFE testing in the 
+	  Phase mismatch service routine.
+	- Etc...

+	* revision 2.0a
+	- Add support if the Diamond FirePort 40 (SYM53C875J chip)
+
+Mon Apr 22 22:00 1997 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* revision 2.0
+	- incorporate __initdata and __initfunc directives in order to 
+	  allow 'init' to free unused memory after driver initialisations.
+	  Patch sent by Roberto Fichera.
+	- rewrite the init code of the driver. Now a feature descriptor 
+	  is used for each real chip types. The code is a lot more clean,
+	  since the driver uses device and revision ids only in the 
+	  detection procedure.
+	- add 'pcifix' boot command line. This command allows to fix up PCI 
+	  config space for new chips which support features based on the 
+	  cache line size and 'write and invalidate'.
+	- incorporate in the driver, the code used for error recovery  
+	  testing. This code is normally not compiled; have to define 
+	  SCSI_NCR_DEBUG_ERROR_RECOVERY in order to compile it.
+	- take into account actual SCSI bus mode for 53C895 LVD/SE controller.
+	  In single ended mode only fast20 is supported.
+          (Just to not be late since such controllers are not yet available)

+	* revision 1.18f
+	- fix an old bug included in the initial port (version 0.0).
+	  The driver allocated 10 bytes of static data and uses 12 bytes.
+	  No danger, since data are generally aligned on 4 bytes boundary 
+	  and so byte 10 and 11 are free (I hope ...)

+	* revision 1.18e
+	- reset all when an unexpected data cycle is detected while 
+	  disconnecting.
+	- make changes to abort() ans reset() functions according to 
+	  Leonard's documentation.
+	- small fix in some message for hard errors.
