Matrox Shark NS-100/4

[shammett@alpine-electronics.co.uk]

Hi all,

     I've been playing with the driver trying to get it to work with the
Matrox Shark card. The driver consistanly
reports that none of the 21140ae have EEPROMs, but this appears to be
because Matrox have decided to
use their own format for the contents of the EEPROM, and even more
irritatingly have put the EEPROM on
the second chip of 4....

Here's the contents of the second chips eeprom as printed by tulip-diag.c:

Eeprom contents on chip index #2.
