+	* Revision 2.5f
+	- Use FAST-5 instead of SLOW for slow scsi devices according to 
+	  new SPI-2 draft.
+	- Make some changes in order to accomodate with 875 rev <= 3 
+	  device errata listing 397. Minor consequences are:
+	  . Leave use of PCI Write and Invalidate under user control.
+	    Now, by default the driver does not enable PCI MWI and option
+	    'specf:y' is required in order to enable this feature.
+	  . Memory Read Line is not enabled for 875 and 875-like chips.
+	  . Programmed burst length set to 64 DWORDS (instead of 128).
+	    (Note: SYMBIOS uses 32 DWORDS for the SDMS BIOS)

+	* revision 2.5e
+	- Add 'buschk' boot option.
+	  This option enables checking of SCSI BUS data lines after SCSI 
+	  RESET (set by default). (Submitted by Richard Waltham).
+	- Update the README file.
+
+Sat Oct 4 18:00 1997 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* revision 2.5d
+	- Dispatch CONDITION MET and RESERVATION CONFLICT scsi status 
+	  as OK driver status.
+	- Update the README file and the Symbios NVRAM format definition 
+	  with removable media flags values (available with SDMS 4.09).
+
+Sat Sep 20 21:00 1997 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* revision 2.5c
+	- Several PCI configuration registers fix-ups for powerpc.
+	  (Patch sent by Cort).
+
+Thu Aug 28 10:00 1997 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* revision 2.5b
+	- Add 'ncr53c8xx' char pointer variable. This variable allows to 
+	  pass a boot command to the driver when it is loaded as a module.
+	  Option separator is ' ' instead of ','. Example:
+	    insmod <mod_path>/ncr53c8xx.o ncr53c8xx='verb:2 sync:0 specf:n'
+	- Always use 'driver_setup.settle_delay' for internal resets.
+	  2 seconds hardcoded is sometimes too short. Suggested by Richard W. 
+	  This delay may be shortenned in order to avoid spurious timeouts.
+	- Fix release module stuff that failed for more than 1 controller.
+	- For linux versions > 1.3.70, trust the 'dev_id' parameter passed 
+	  to the interrupt handler (dev_id = struct ncb *).
+	- Fix up in 'ncr_log_hard_error()' when the DSP points outside scripts.
+	  Suggested by Stefan Esser.

+	* revision 2.5a
+	- Update Configure.help for inclusion in linux-2.1.51/2/3
+	- Use BASE_2 address from PCI config space instead of some 
+	  IO register for getting the on-board SRAM bus address.
+	- Remove error testing of pcibios_read/write functions.
+	  These functions are intended to be used for successfully 
+	  detected PCI devices. Expecting error condition from them 
+	  is nothing but paranoia.
+
+Thu Aug 21 23:00 1997 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* revision 2.5
+	- 53C860 chip support fix.
+	- Move the 'host_status' to the last DWORD of the CCB header.
+	  This header is copied back by the script processor. This 
+	  guarantees that the header is entirely copied back over 
+	  the PCI when the CPU completes a CCB.
+	- (re)read ISTAT prior to scanning CCBs for completion. This
+	  ensure that any posted buffer are flushed prior CCBs scan.
+	- Support for BIG ENDIAN cpu. Added by Cort <cort@cs.nmt.edu>.
+	  Initial patch did'nt support disconnections and tagged commands.
+	  I've completed the patch and it seems that all is ok now.
+	  Only some powerpc under 2.1.X is supported for the moment.
+	- Misc. trivial fixes and cleanups.
