Hi

I'd like to connect a 32kx8 static RAM (battery buffered) to the ISAbus o=
f my=20
x86 based system to frequently store sensitive data which _must_ survive =
a=20
powerfail. Access should be made through the mtd character device. By div=
ing=20
a bit into the code I saw there is a ram chip driver, however, I got pret=
ty=20
confused.=20
Do I have to write my own mapping driver or how can I tell the chip drive=
r=20
where it finds my RAM device and how large it is ?
Does the ram chip driver accept any parameters ?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Felix
