Programming Flash Proms for the 3c905B

[markus@infoscape.com]

Hi,

Thomas Schindler just forwarded me part of an e-mail message from
Donald Becker. It contains information on how to program the Flash
Prom on 3c905B cards. I believe several people asked for this
information:

The source code for vortex-diag can be obtained from
http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/diag/vortex-diag.c You will have to
compile with the -DLIBFLASH option and link against
ftp://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/linux/diag/libflash.c
