You might still find some old kernel images floating around to support
this device, but nothing has happened on this port since the 2000/2001
period, and it was purged from the kernel years ago. Philipp Rumpf
(prumpf@tux.org) did the reverse engineering and porting to that
particular platform, so you may try to get in contact with him to see if
he has any suggestions for you.

Of course if you are interested in doing the leg work for porting the old
support code to a current kernel and looking after the port, we can of
course consider re-adding support for the platform.
