Adaptec SlimSCSI 1480A

You can now use the Adaptec SlimSCSI 1480A Cardbus controller under linux by using 2.2.10-ac10 along with pcmcia-cs 3.0.13. If you'd rather not compile the source code, the other way you can utilize this card is to install my compiled 2.2.10-ac10 kernel w/pcmcia-3.0.13 modules (follow the VESA Framebuffer solution in the Free X server section). One tip: you need to add the following line to your pcmcia config.opts file:
module "apa1480_cb" opts "reset=1 ultra=1"
