Ahh, is 5.1.0 going to be a trial U2W port?  I've a whole stack of
systems with 7890's onboard, and am trying to hack U2W into the driver
myself since your note on the website ("until 5.1") sounded like it
might be a long time.  If you need a test site/beta human/debugger for
7890's, I'm your man!

(And it is so much BETTER for YOU to figure out where to put the
AHC_ULTRA2 type in ahc_types, etc...that way the final code will look
a whole lot less like, well, a hack...;-)
