HD64570 chip. Both the 2 and 4 port cards is supported and auto detected.
Line speeds of up to 2Mbps is possible. At this speed about 85% of the
bandwidth is usable with 486DX processors.
The standard FreeBSD sppp code is used for the link level layer. The
default protocol used is PPP. The Cisco HDLC protocol can be used by
adding "link2" to the ifconfig line in /etc/sysconfig or where ever
ifconfig is run.
At the moment only the V.35 and X.21 interfaces is supported. The others
may need tweaks to the clock selection code.

- use pseudo-dma
- provide the same features and interface as sio
- support multiple boards
- fix bugs.
Some compile-time configuration constants are set to support higher
speeds and Cyclom-16Y's at a 30% relative cost in efficiency.
Cyclom-16Y support is untested.

floppy driver (or in the hardware?). It turned out to be caused by
spurious interrupts, right after an FDC reset.
Also major cleanup in the low-level structure, there are now functions
performing error-checks for the FDC I/O.

First round of floppy changes. Try making `fd' more robust.
New features:
. ioctl command for setting the drive type (density etc.); restricted
to the super-user
. ioctl for getting/seting `drive options'; currently only option
is FDOPT_NORETRY: inhibit the usual retries; used when verifying
a newly formatted track
Fixes:
. function prototypes
. made all internal functions `static'
. cleaned up & corrected .h files
. restructured, to make the chaotic function sequence more rational
. compiled with -Wall, and cleared all warnings
. introduced a mirror for the (write-only) `digital output register',
to avoid the current kludge
. device probing completed by seeking/recalibrating, and looking
for track 0 being found
. holding the controller down in reset state while it is idle (and
thus saving allot of headaches)
. make requests fail that are not a multiple of the (physical)
sector size
. removed the fixed physical sector size (512 bytes), allowing for any
size the controller could handle (128/256/512/1024 bytes)
. replaced some silly messages
. fixed the TRACE* macro usage, debugging reports should be complete
now again (debugging output is HUGE! though)
. removed fd_timeout for SEEK command; seeks are always reported by
the controller to succeed, since the `success' only refers to the
controller's idea of success - there is no hardware line to tell about
the seek end (other than the `track 0' line)
. catch SENSEI's that report about a `terminated due to READY changed'
status - could happen after a controller reset
. converted ``hz / <something>'' divide operations to divisors that are
powers of two, so gcc can optimize them into shifts
. write/format operations are checked against a write-protected medium
now *prior* starting the operation
. error reports of `invalid command' and `wrong cylinder' will cause
shortcuts in the retrier() now
. fixed a bug in the retrier() causing bogus block numbers to be reported
. fdformat() does care for errors now
Known Bugs:
. no attempts have been made (yet) to improve the performance
. sometimes, bogus ``seek/recalib failed'' messages are logged; this
is still a bug in the driver, but it's not harmful since it's
usually caught by the retrier()
