I have one of these cards also (plus one with the 'other' chip on it. I
even have some time.. What are you trying to put on the bus? I could
try to MI the hp300 port's hpib (same as GPIB) bus code and then the cs80
drives should just work.. but there is little support for anything else.
BTW I am new to kernel hacking/drivers also so it may take some time.
