Konstantin,
I guess what I am saying is I face challenges in adding support for your
card.
1. I need a list of chips that are on your card.
2. I would like a high quality picture of sides of the card with chips
on them
3. If your card has an NEC uPD64011 or some other chip linux does not
currently support, then I will need:
a. a datasheet for each unsupported chip
b. a card with which to test
c. time to write a driver for each unsupported chip
If you can provide the answer to 1, then we can see how hard the rest
will be to do.
Regards,
Andy
