I've been a FreeBSD user for more or less 4 years now and am interested in trying my hand at some kernel coding. I have been following your posts in -hackers with a fair amount of interest, since I have a Future Domain card that was donated to me by someone who upgraded and am interested in putting this hardware to use. I think that incorporating the driver into FreeBSD might be something good for me to gain some experience. I have taken the driver that Bob Bishop mentioned and integrated it into -current on my test machine and I have it talking to some SCSI devices. I don't have much to test it on, since I have only IDE HDDs and not many SCSI peripherals. I thought you might be able to help by helping to track down some documentation for this chipset. Reading raw code + little experience with device drivers + little experience at low level SCSI = a non-trivial task. However, I'm willing to give it a try. Any other help you can give to my effort would, of course, be very appreciated. - K.C. cc'd to -hackers for a wider audience...
