Feel free to remove this one. It was never in a state that worked, but was added to the tree anyway. I tried to fix it when I was given a copy of the documentation, but it needed more work than I initially expected. The initial version that was in the tree could only detect the drives, and the only thing I added other than some bug fixes was support for the eject ioctl. The read/write path in the driver is missing the actual data transfer routines, and is therefore not in a working state. For the record, I believe the linux-mac68k list is dead.
