  I wouldn't exactly say that :-)

  All I did was take Tohru's code that used the MI ncr53c9x code and got
it working for both the IOASIC and TC SCSI options.  The primary hangup
with it now is that kernel coredumps don't work [the driver keeps timing
out;  I haven't had a chance or the ambition to tackle that problem yet].

  The current version can't coexist with the rz driver, which would still
be needed for the SII SCSI machines, so it mean two different kernels to
provide support for both classes of machines (SII and 53c94).
