I've split up the driver, creating working 2.4.19 and 2.5.31 versions of 
the driver (and even tested them!) and split the emulation code into a 
separate patch.

I also noticed that 2.5.31 timer interrupts occur at 1ms instead of 
10ms, so it should provide acceptable speed without high-res timers. 
 2.4 without high-res timers or interrupts will still be very slow.

I have not yet tested interrupts, because I don't have a card that 
supports them (it's on its way).  However, that's pretty straightforward.

The web page is http://home.attbi.com/~minyard

Please, try it out and tell me what you think.  Again, I'm shooting for 
getting this in the mainstream kernel.
