It is me. :-)

I can't still push a feedback because I have some problems for it.

Now, I'm testing it with PB180c and daily built binary set.
I could find that I can get work, only when disabling NCR5380's PDMA.
(see arch/mac68k/dev/{ncr5830.c,mac68k5380.c})

But, when disabling PDMA, HDD access also becomes too slow.
So, now I patched to control PDMA enable/disable with SCSI ID,
to enable for HDD and disable for SCSI-Ethernet.
Though it is a very dirty method ...


Then, now I can get work with an adaptor with firmware ver 2.0.
firmware 1.1's one does not work yet.
