Changes since the driver versions incorperated in 2.5.59:

ChangeSet@1.961, 2003-01-22 15:09:24-07:00, gibbs@overdrive.btc.adaptec.com
  Bump aic79xx driver version number to 1.3.0, now that it has
  passed functional test.

ChangeSet@1.960, 2003-01-22 14:44:51-07:00, gibbs@overdrive.btc.adaptec.com
  Update Aic7xxx and Aic79xx driver documentation.

ChangeSet@1.959, 2003-01-20 16:46:37-07:00, gibbs@overdrive.btc.adaptec.com
  Aic7xxx Driver Update 6.2.28
        o Add some more DV diagnostic code
        o Fix bug that caused sequencer debug code to be
          downloaded always.

  Aic79xx Driver Update 1.3.0.RC2
        o Correct a regression in RC1 that effectively limited DV to just ID 0.
        o Add some more DV diagnostic code
        o Misc code cleanups.

ChangeSet@1.958, 2003-01-17 14:49:42-07:00, gibbs@overdrive.btc.adaptec.com
  Aic7xxx and Aic79xx Driver Update
        Force an SDTR after a rejected WDTR if the syncrate is unkonwn.

ChangeSet@1.957, 2003-01-17 13:20:53-07:00, gibbs@overdrive.btc.adaptec.com
  Bump aic7xxx driver version to 6.2.27.

ChangeSet@1.956, 2003-01-17 13:17:49-07:00, gibbs@overdrive.btc.adaptec.com
  Aic7xxx Driver Update:
    o Determine more conclusively that a BIOS has initialized the
      adapter before using "left over BIOS settings".
    o Adapt to upcoming removal of cmd->target/channel/lun/host in 2.5.X
    o Fix a memory leak on driver unload.
    o Enable the pci_parity command line option and default to pci parity
      error detection *disabled*.  There are just too many broken VIA
      chipsets out there.
    o Move more functionality into aiclib to share with the aic79xx driver.
    o Correct a few negotiation regressions.
    o Don't bother doing full DV on devices that only support async transfers.
      This should fix a few more of the reported problems with DV.

  Aic79xx Driver Update
    o Add abort and bus device reset handlers.
    o Fix a memory leak on driver unload.
    o Adapt to upcoming removal of cmd->target/channel/lun/host in 2.5.X.
    o Correct a few negotiation regressions.

        and packetized connections.

ChangeSet@1.954, 2003-01-17 12:10:23-07:00, gibbs@overdrive.btc.adaptec.com
  Aic7xxx and Aic79xx DV Fix:
        Don't bother with DV if the device can only do async
