I generally agree with your argumentation. One very minor addendum: while the LINT file mentions that the 284X probes as an EISA card, there should perhaps be a warning in the GENERIC config file, telling: ``Don't remove the eisa0 controller if you're using an Adaptec 284X VLB controller.'' -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
