o Update to closer to the official names for these cards.
o Remove entries for 1510, 152x and 1535. These are supported, for some value of supported, by the aic driver. o Add notes about 1542-CP being plug and play, but it can still conflict with other resources because all the resources it uses are set with the onboard BIOS.

This driver provides access to the

+x is 0 for controllers without a floppy drive and 2 for controllers

+Specific values for the port address, irq, and drq may be specified.
+If wildcard values are used, the driver will query the device for its
+current settings and use those.
If the port address
is a wildcard, the driver consults an internal table of possible port address
locations and attaches to the first unattached card it finds.
The possible
port addresses for this card are 0x330, 0x334, 0x230, 0x234, 0x130, and
0x134.
+.Pp
+The AHA-154xCP is a plug and play controller.
+However, its resources are set using the on-board BIOS and cannot be
+moved.
+Failures to attached for this card are often caused when the resources
+set in the BIOS conflict
+.Pp
+The AHA-1640 is a MCA bus card.
+Since the MCA bus is a self-identifying bus, no setting of hints is
+required.
