Well, the source for the WD7000-ASC card is in there, just not configured
I don;t know if it works yet, because I have only just had time to
recompile it. It had a couple of syntax errors in it (MIssing ';''s),
but copmiles OK now. It took some time for me to get the jumpers right
(Damn manuals that use a 1 for no jumper, and note it in the fine print),
and now I get as far as the init sequence failing.. :) The person who
originally wrote it (deraadt@fsa.ca) said that his motherboard DMA died,
so he was unable to finish it. 

Now I think I can finish it for the ASC, and hopefully it'll work for the FASST
as well (SInce thats what I've got), but the OEM manual I have is only for the
ASC... Does anyone have the OEM manual for the FASST? (Adds scatter gather support.
Some docs for this would be good...)
