While "highly incomplete" is a little bit of an exageration, the older
driver did not support things like tagged queuing and had spotty error
recovery.  It did support sync/wide/ultra transparently as that is the
way the MultiMaster interface works.

Anyway, you should try the CAM BusLogic driver I wrote.  It handles tagged
queuing, uses all available transaction space on the card, and provides
for error recovery:

We only support Multi-Master cards right now.  If you have a FlashPoint
card (like a BT-950), you'll have to either write your own driver, or
wait for me to get around to it (likely another month or two).
