Could anyone who ownes such card look onto the chips they glued onto
it ? As this seems to be a cheap passive card it is somewhat likely
to find the standard chips there - Siemens HSCX and ISAC. If they
are there it is very likely the card either runs with Karsten Keils
"HiSax" driver or making it run is a matter of working out how the
chips are controlled on this card and patching HiSax accordingly.
HiSax supports almost any card with the HSCX/ISAC chipset (hence the
name), and ASND (oops, other thread;) is glueing those chips already
in the BRI Pipes and Maxes - so why not on this card.
