+ * ncr53c8xx.c ncr53c8xx.h - revision 1.16a
+ New display for speed ##.# MB/s (From Stefan)
+ - I add "WIDE" qualifier after ULTRA and FAST
+ - I get "FAST WIDE SCSI-2 20 MB/s" with my Atlas. That's nice.
+
+ Richard Waltham reports SYMBIOS set the 875 to 20 MB/s for 13 ns
+ period factor. I decide to trust SYMBIOS. 20 MB/s output speed
+ instead of 19.2 MB/s should not cause problem. The ncr is only able
+ to use 16.67 MB/s when 20 MB/s is not possible.
+
+ Fix from Markus Kossman: "Ultra SCSI enabled" wrongly printed
+ when not enabled.
+
+ Set DEBUG_NEGO by default in order to get reports about sync nego.
+ Will remove it in the next patch.

+ * ncr53c8xx.c ncr53c8xx.h README.ncr53c8xx - revision 1.16
+ Incorporate new definitions in ncr53c8xx.h (From Stefan).
+ Check changes against Stefan's current version of the driver.
+ All seems ok.

+ * ncr53c8xx.c ncr53c8xx.h
+ Make changes in order to support:
+ - Clock doubler and so 80 Mhz scsi clock for 875 chips.
+ - Sync transfers below 7.5 MB/sec.
+ Use Clock/2 between 5 and 10 Mega-transfers/s and Clock/4 below 5.
+ - Ultra SCSI data transfers.
+ - Offset 16.
+
+ Works with my configuration. However I cannot test Ultra transfers,
+ since my disks are only fast scsi-2.

+ * ncr53c8xx.c
+ I received yesterday my Promise SCSI Ultra board.
+ NCR53C875 rev. 3 with clock doubler.
+ Add the code to support some bus features, the large 536 dma fifo and
+ burst 128. Works.
