Interesting... I know mine's the non-DMA QuadraLink, but has slightly
different chips (presumedly compatibles however, and so we have the
same card).  BTW, is this the one you previously referred to as the
Shadow Quadralink?

Here's a excerpt from a June message where I inventoried my card:

I don't know about the Shadow Quadralink, but mine has two Zilog Z8530
UARTs (Z85C3008PSC to be exact...).  There are no other major chips on
the board (eg, no CPUs).  The other chips are:

  AMD AM26LS30 (one per port)
  TI SN75195N (one per port)
  Mot MC74F521N (one)
  TI SN74ALS651NT (one)
  TI SN74ALS534AN (two)
  TI SN74ALS74AN (one)
  ??  74F125

Would you mind downloading a copy of the "Slots" program and running it
on your system (under MacOS) w/ your Quadralink?  I don't have a URL
handy, but you can find it on Apple's developers web/ftp sit.  It'd
be interesting to see how it compares to my card.

BTW, you had asked previously; I haven't made any progress on trying
to write a driver for the Quadralink, other than reading through the
current zs source.  Any progress you (Bill & Jason) can make on
changes to the 8530 driver would be greatly appreciated, though. :)
Let me know if you'd like a hand.

John
