The board is a very good board and the manufacuter is very helpful. Thats
why Geert could write a driver without having access to a board.
There is a ROM onboard (btw I bought an update at the infamous amiga fair
last year, did anyone try to plug it in? Better get the old ROM out? Seems
quite impossible to me...).
I guess its compatible to the catweasel, just check out a 2.1 kernel, there
is one at
sunsite.auc.dk:/pub/os/linux/680x0/testing/vmlinux-2.1.131-catweasel.gz
You may have problems setting up linux with that, but just to check it your
board works.
When I said its hard to backport it, I really meant it would be hard for me
to backport it, since AFAIK a lot has changed in the IDE code from 2.0 to
2.1.
Ciao,
