The README file hasn't been maintained up to date. It has been useful when the driver was not yet in the repository. It just has been purged of obsolete informations on my latest commit to HEAD. Btw, I donnot think that the driver version has something to do with the MO disk problems you reported in your previous mail. I haven't MFCed a recent `sym' driver version to 3.5R since no problem had been reported to me ('Never change a system that works' applied here :) ). However, given that SYM53C1010 based boards are now available, especially from Tekram, an MFC will be needed to ensure that all SYM53C1010 chip issues I know about are addressed also in RELENG_3. (Latest `sym' driver should still be 3.X compatible at source level thanks to COMPAT code versus NEW BUS one being conditionned according to FreeBSD version. Thus, user can for now move latest driver sources to a 3.X tree and just rebuild the kernel). =20 > Also my mail address is whs@xs4all.nl, reply on the previous mail will > give spaces in the mail address.. >=20 > Wouter G=E9rard.
