    Given the number of people annoyed by the lack of a driver for TI's
    FlashMedia controller (part of the 6xx1 & 7xx1 series chips), myself one of
    them, I've started a project to reverse-engineer the device.

    Basic details available here, adding new info whenever I get/discover it:
    http://www.webcon.ca/~imorgan/tifm21/

    Anyone with one of these devices (common in newer notebooks, especially
    HP/Compaq units) interested in helping, please check out the above web page
    and get on board!

    P.S. There are a few reports that a company has already written a Linux
    driver for this device, but it was only made available to Texas Instruments.
    Although TI's documents do mention Linux support for these devices, there is
    absolutely no sign of a driver available anywhere. Queries to TI by myself
    any several other people in the past have gone unanswered.

    Regards,
    Ian Morgan
