I want to use Mach on a Pentium PC with NCR53C810 PCI SCSI controller. I grabbed your source and found what I think is a driver for the NCR53C700 under mach4/mach4-parisc/kernel/hpsgc/scsi_ncr53c700.c. I heared that the 53c810 essentially supports a superset of the 53c700 SCRIPTS commands. Would that indicate that I could use the 5xc700 driver for the 53c810? Who wrote that driver (HP themselves?)? Why does the driver live under the mach4-parisc hierarchy? The normal place would seem to be mach4/mach4/kernel/scsi/adapters?! Can I just rip out the scsi_ncr53c700.{c,script} and use them for the PC port? Where should I place them? What else would I need? Should I rather try to use the 53c810 driver for NetBSD/FreeBSD? Any other comments? Dirk ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dirk W.
