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
