Hi Geert,

All patches that have been applied to this driver since 2005 are API refactoring
patches. I haven't found any patches in the history of this driver that seem to
have been submitted by a user of this driver. Do you perhaps know whether anyone
is using this driver?
The z2ram is a very simple driver, used to configure (slower) Zorro II RAM as
a swap device.  So I'm not so surprised no one submitted functional patches.

I believe it's still being used.
Probably it could be modified to use mtdram.

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,
