-         Note that most PCI based 8255 boards use the 8255_pci driver as a
-         wrapper around this driver.
+         Note that Comedi drivers for most multi-function boards incorporating
+         an 8255 chip use the 'comedi_8255' module.  Most PCI-based 8255
+         boards use the 8255_pci driver as a wrapper around the 'comedi_8255'
+         module.
 
          To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be
          called 8255.
