Wow, that is a crappy driver ;-) Dave Woodhouse was apparently the last
person who understood it and had something to do with it, and that was back
in the 90s. It looks like the vendor actually has its own (much worse)
driver for this product line and only supports more recent cards than
our driver does. I doubt that there is anyone using this.

Should we just kill the driver?
