[Tifm21-devel] Fw: RE: Re: FW: Ethics Office Inquiry: linux driver for the PCIxx21 flashmedia controller

  Thank you for contacting Texas Instruments Technical Support. Your email
has been received and a Service Request# 1-234882985 has been assigned to
your inquiry.


TI does not develop Card & Socket Services drivers for the TI PC Card
Controllers.

Our devices are used in many PC's and add-in cards from many
manufacturers. These manufacturers include PCI drivers from Microsoft
Corporation that enable the PCI card from TI. Texas Instruments does not
provide drivers for our PCI card for Windows or any other OS. If you are
encountering difficulties with the PCI port on your PC or add-in card,
please contact the manufacturer for support. Texas Instruments does not
provide any support for these end products.

Additional information

To find the manufacturer of the card, use the FCC's web page
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid/ to search for the FCC ID number printed on
the bottom of the card. If it came preinstalled, please contact the store
where you purchased the computer.

Third-party vendors have developed C&SS driver support for other
operating systems. These vendors include Phoenix, System Soft, and Award:

Microsoft www.microsoft.com 800-426-9400

Award Software/Phoenix Technologies www.phoenix.com 800-677-7305

Systemsoft Corp. www.systemsoft.com 800-796-0088

Softex, Inc. www.softexinc.com 512-452-8836

i haven't asked for the driver/source of the ACX100, but for the PCIxx21
flashmedia/sd integrated controller series.
