A new driver ROM doesn't magically turn your non-DMA host
adapter into a DMA board! And there is no Series-II ROM,
only a Series-II _board_. The new ROM is called "FaaastROM",
it works with GVP's Series-I (non-DMA) and Series-II (DMA)
boards. So, as I already said, Series-I doesn't require this
patch, no matter what ROM version you are running.

Trust me. :-)
