  Manufacturer 2011 is a special "hacker" Manufacturer ID number reserved
for test use.  The manufacturer/product 2011/1 is what the example for
a Zorro II expansion board used, and the PALs used in my SCSI board are
just a copy of that example.  I don't think the 2011 number should ever
have been used for a commerical board - the hardware manufacturer was
supposed to obtain their own number.  [Where would one obtain a
manufacture number now?]

  Since the product id's are different, and the mlhsc driver checks that
as well, it shouldn't cause any problem.
