The Morley card is probably one of the most widespread, although obviously
doesn't mean any of the Kernel team own one. I thought support was planned,
though.

Morley cards use one of the following controllers:

NCR 53C94, Emulux ESP216 or Emulux FAS216 - I assume these are all compatible
with each-other.

I wonder what controller(s) the Acorn and other cards for which drivers have
been produced use. Is it worth putting together a list so that we can work out
which cards drivers could easily be produced for by modifying existing drivers
for similar cards?
