Version 1.04 released. More changes - driver should be more robust now (rejected packets are handled more gratiously, DMA timeout recovery improved) and faster (changed the order in which I/O operations are issued). New cs8.hex firmware. The user-space utilities are now available as RedHat RPM package, and the startup scripts are integrated to the RedHat Linux (they remain usable on other distributions, though).
