12 Right now, I'm in the process of generating "-r1" iso images on ibiblio with
13 this fix applied (the AM53C975 driver has been removed). This chip is still
14 supported, but these new CDs will use the "Tekram DC390" driver instead. If
15 you have such a SCSI controller, be on the lookout for the new -r1 isos :)
