What else does the cover say? Is it for m68k, or Intel? Who produced this
distribution? There's never been a 2.0.34 m68k kernel.

2.1 as Christian told you. But that doesn't currently help you.

I'm sure there's some sort of driver, but I'm unclear on the meaning of
'autoconfig board'. If there's no driver on disk, you either have it in the
regular AmigaOS IDE driver, or it's in some ROM on the card. I might be off
base here but someone else asked about some unsupported IDE board and that
seemed to run without interrupts, i.e. polled. Must have been on c.o.l.m68k,
check the archives, maybe someone's already working on it.
