Aha, they renumbered the sections from between the CAM2 draft and final I guess (it's been a while). We did a total rewrite of the section; the original draft was totally non-implementable (and pretty useless even if you worked around the problems). >In any case, FreeBSD does support target mode.

Perhaps I'll look at adding target mode to some of the NCR 53xNNN* chips; they certainly can support it. Thanks for the info. Has anyone here used target-mode? Or written an IP transport layer on top of it? -- Randell Jesup, Worldgate Communications, ex-Scala, ex-Amiga OS team ('88-94) rjesup@wgate.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
