About ten weeks ago, the only support for the Powercolor Real Angel 330
appeared to be in Markus's mercurial tree, so I tried it. It did not work,
because the GPIO settings were all wrong. I ran some tests, and fixed the
problems. I made Markus aware of my patch several times, and he always
said he would soon add it to his tree along with many others he received.
He apparently never got to it, and now his server seems to have
disappeared from the web. If anyone still has a copy of his repository,
the following patch against it makes all functions of this card work
perfectly:

Today, I noticed the new cx88-xc2028 tree on which Mauro has begun some
work. I have not tried it, but in comparing the code to Markus's, most
support appears to be missing. I thought that maybe I could try merging
Markus's old tree with Mauro's new one, but the absence of Markus's server
means I can't. If anyone here would like my assistance in reconciling the
competing code in the two trees, please contact me off-list. Thank you.
