Cool.
For the record, it currently _does not_ seem to work on the built-in
ISP1020s on AlphaStation 600s (or at least, on AlphaStation 600s with
the same firmware that the one next to me nas 8-).
On AlphaStation 600s, they are behind a PPB, and it looks like this
firmware doesn't correctly configure the I/O spaces of devices behind
that ppb. When i switched the driver to use the ISP1020's memory
space, it worked as expected.
I just sent some mail to Matt about this, actually. I hope to check
in some sort of fix "soon." If anybody wants to get an AlphaStation
600 up and running, and it doesn't work with the kernel/floppy which i
previously distributed, get in touch with me and i'll cut you a new
one which should work.
