Ahem, that was me. I was asked to program a driver for a ROM ISA-card that was intended for a diskless machine. The driver (for Linux-1.2.6) was working nice, and I could boot Linux from the card, but (for reasons I don't know) the product later missed to reach the 'market' and I did no further work on it.
... And yes, I was the one who registered the device number.
