There is one major difference that I know of, here is a message that
was sent to me when I had similar troubles. I know that the message
is correct as we put some of our own drivers in here.
Alas, I don't remember the source of this information to give proper
credit.
* I am told that you will need to remove the "register br, cvec"
* lines from configuration probe routines for these drivers and
* the ones in contrib/ to work under Ultrix 2.0.
The purpose of removing "register br, cvec" is that they are now global
variables (probably improves efficiency).
