Hello again,

My indy seems to be equipped with a Fore ATM device (GIA-200).
Would someone know if there is a way to get it back into action?

Thank you for your time.

Greetings, Joost <joost@stack.nl>

You'll not like this answer ...  but write a driver :-)

It seems many GIO cards are based on already Linux-supported PCI chips,
so there's a certain chance this won't even be hard.

There is already a driver for the PCI and SBUS versions of this card. It
lives in drivers/atm/fore200e*. You 'only' need to add code for the
GIO32 specifics.

Cheers,

Peter.

Thank you both for your answer. I've only taken a quick
peek, and got rather scared :-) Maybe I'll try again
when I have more time (exams coming up).

Thanks again!

One of the running gags on ATM is it actually stands for A Terrible Mess ;-)
