-Wed Jul 21 1999 23:00 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
-	* revision 3.2a-2
-	- merge of driver 3.2a-1 with linux-2.3.11-pre3

-Sun May 9  15:00 1999 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
-	* revision 3.2a-1
-	- Fix the misdetection of SYM53C875E (was detected as a 876).
-	- Set the actual host ID used for each host in the scsi host data 
-	  structure. The mid-layer SCSI driver needs this information.
+Wed Jul 26 23:30 2000 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* version ncr53c8xx-3.4.1
+	- Provide OpenFirmare path through the proc FS on PPC.
+	- Remove trailing argument #2 from a couple of #undefs.
+
+Sun Jul 09 16:30 2000 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* version ncr53c8xx-3.4.0
+	- Remove the PROFILE C and SCRIPTS code.
+	  This facility was not this useful and thus was not longer 
+	  desirable given the increasing complexity of the driver code.
+	- Merges from FreeBSD sym-1.6.2 driver:
+	  * Clarify memory barriers needed by the driver for architectures 
+	    that implement a weak memory ordering.
+	- General cleanup:
+	  Move definitions for barriers and IO/MMIO operations to the 
+	  sym53c8xx_defs.h header files. They are now shared by the 
+	  both drivers.
+	  Use SCSI_NCR_IOMAPPED instead of NCR_IOMAPPED.

+Thu May 11   12:30 2000 Pam Delaney (pam.delaney@lsil.com)
+	* revision 3.3b
+ 
+Mon Apr 24 12:00 2000 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* revision 3.2i
+	- Return value 1 (instead of 0) from the driver setup routine.
+	- Let the driver also attach controllers that have been set to 
+	  OFF in the NVRAM as it did prior to revision 3.2g.
+
+Sat Apr 1  12:00 2000 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* revision 3.2h
+	- Fix a compilation problem on Alpha introduced in version 3.2g.
+          (`port' changed to `base_io').
+	- Move from `sym' to this driver a tiny change for __sparc__ that 
+	  applies to cache line size (? Probably from David S Miller).
+	- Make sure no data transfer will happen for Scsi_Cmnd requests 
+	  that supply SCSI_DATA_NONE direction (this avoids some BUG() 
+	  statement in the PCI code when a data buffer is also supplied).
+
+Thu Mar 16   9:30 2000 Pam Delaney (pam.delaney@lsil.com)
+	* revision 3.3b-3
+ 	- Added exclusion for the 53C1010 and 53C1010_66 chips
+	  to the driver (change to sym53c8xx_comm.h).
+
+Mon March 6  23:15 2000 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* revision 3.2g
+	- Add the file sym53c8xx_comm.h that collects code that should 
+	  be shared by sym53c8xx and ncr53c8xx drivers. For now, it is  
+	  a header file that is only included by the ncr53c8xx driver, 
+	  but things will be cleaned up later. This code addresses 
+	  notably:
+	  * Chip detection and PCI related initialisations
+	  * NVRAM detection and reading
+	  * DMA mapping
+	  * Boot setup command
+	  * And some other ...
+	- Add support for the new dynamic dma mapping kernel interface.
+	  Requires Linux-2.3.47 (tested with pre-2.3.47-6).
+	- Get data transfer direction from the scsi command structure 
+	  (Scsi_Cmnd) when this information is available.

+Fri Jan 14 14:00 2000 Pam Delaney (pam.delaney@lsil.com)
+	* revision pre-3.3b-1
+	- Merge parallel driver series 3.31 and 3.2e 
+
+Tue Jan 11 14:00 2000 Pam Delaney (pam.delaney@lsil.com)
+	* revision 3.31
+	- Added support for mounting disks on wide-narrow-wide
+	  scsi configurations.  
+	- Built off of version 3.30
+
+Mon Jan 10 13:30 2000 Pam Delaney (pam.delaney@lsil.com)
+	* revision 3.30
+	- Added capability to use the integrity checking code
+	  in the kernel (optional).
+	- Disabled support for the 53C1010.
+	- Built off of version 3.2c
+
+Sat Jan 8  22:00 2000 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* revision 3.2e
+	- Add year 2000 copyright.
+	- Display correctly bus signals when bus is detected wrong.
+	- Remove the dead code that broke driver 3.2d.
+
+Mon Dec 6  22:00 1999 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* revision 3.2d
+	- Change messages written by the driver at initialisation and 
+	  through the /proc FS (rather cosmetic changes that consist in
+	  printing out the PCI bus number and device/function).
+	- Get rid of the old PCI bios interface, but preserve kernel 2.0 
+	  compatibility from a simple wrapper.
+	- Remove the compilation condition about having to acquire the 
+	  io_request_lock since it seems to be a definite feature now.:)
+	- proc_dir structure no longer needed for kernel >= 2.3.27.
+	- Change the driver detection code by the sym53c8xx one, modulo 
+	  some minor changes. The driver can now attach any number of 
+	  controllers (>40) and does no longer hoger stack space at 
+	  initialisation.
+	- Definitely disable overlapped PCI arbitration for all dual 
+	  function chips, since I cannot make sure for what chip revisions 
+	  it is actually safe.
+	- Add support for the SYM53C1510D.
+	- Update the poor Tekram sync factor table.
+	- Remove the compilation condition about having to acquire the 
+	  io_request_lock since it seems to be a definite feature now.:)
+	- proc_dir structure no longer needed for kernel >= 2.3.27.
+
+Sat Sep 11  18:00 1999 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* revision 3.2c
+	- Handle correctly (hopefully) jiffies wrap-around.
+	- Restore the entry used to detect 875 until revision 0xff.
+	  (I removed it inadvertently, it seems :) )
+	- Replace __initfunc() which is deprecated stuff by __init which 
+	  is not yet so. ;-)
+	- Add support of some 'resource handling' for linux-2.3.13.
+	  Basically the BARs have been changed to something more complex 
+	  in the pci_dev structure.
+	- Remove some deprecated code.
+
+Sat May 10  11:00 1999 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* revision pre-3.2b-1
+	- Support for the 53C895A by Pamela Delaney <pam.delaney@lsil.com>
+	  The 53C895A contains all of the features of the 896 but has only 
+	  one channel and has a 32 bit PCI bus. It does 64 bit PCI addressing 
+	  using dual cycle PCI data transfers.
+	- Miscellaneous minor fixes.
+	- Some additions to the README.ncr53c8xx file.
