For that matter le/sbus works for me now that DMA_CONSISTENT
has been added to the dma *load*() calls. (N.B. The same changes
are probably required for ISP).

I'm also interested to know if anybody works on fas. I started to look
on it and would like to know how can I get qlogic's specs on fas366.
Any information will be appreciated.
The specs to the FAS366 are available on the SME website. It's
part of a larger ASIC which I think combines HME and the parallel
port as well. Poke around there a bit.
Anyway, FAS366 is a wide version of the ncr53c9x with the DMA
engine attached. The esp driver can be enhanced to support FAS,
which I plan to do as soon as I get a FAS to play with. But until
then, feel free to give it a try.
