My guess is that you will have to collect all those include files and 
regenerate them to say the same thing in os9 style before you can get past 
line 30 with the microware compiler plus all the extra's we have done for it 
over the years.  Not impossible, but it will be time consuming to run all 
those defines down and figure out what its doing.  I suspect the resultant 
driver may also be several kilobytes larger than a barebones effort in 
assembly, mainly due to bells and whistles that may not be needed for a given 
application under os9/nitros9.

I also note that this version has huge bunches of EXPORT_SYMBOL_* stuff in it 
that the current 2.6.24 kernel version doesn't have, so changing to that 
version may have a helpfull effect too.  According to the 2.6.24 version, 
Grant Guenther wrote it back in 1998 and its only been touched once since.

If this is the correct driver, its an IDE interface?  For ls-120 drives and 
such...
