After much procrastination I've finally updated this module to CURRENT and
match the Toshiba driver.  Test if you have a Fujitsu P2000 (I've heard this
device also appears on the P5000 and the S series).

FYI: My network has been a bit flaky you might have to request it a couple of
times before it goes through.

Opps, sent it to the old list.  I know that there are some style issues, but 
I'd like to get comments about anything that is wrong with the way I've done 
things, or just suggestions.

Thanks,
