Thanks for debugging this and sending a patch. The driver had been released by Tekram without the EEPROM "simulation", which I added to make the driver support generic AMD 53c974 chips. I relied on other people testing the driver, since I had no such controller, myself, and received several positive replies. I'll check out your suggested patch in the context of FreeBSD 2.2 and -current, and will then commit it. Regards, STefan
