Not that that has any importance or impact besides wasting
bandwith. Anyhow, this gives me the chance to report
something real:
[..]

I get this when compiling in the AM53C974 code. Also, I was wondering
if anybody was going to include the drivers for the Tekram SCSI
cards (available at www.tekram.com) in the kernel?
