" http://people.redhat.com/dledford/aic7xxx_old.html" -- This page is hosted by Doug who is the author of aic7xxx_old module. Adaptec took over from this guy on Jan 29,2001 and created its own open-source drivers. Gibbs was the man behind it. So "old" does not stand for support for "older" hardware. It is called "old" because it is older than the current AIC7xxx drivers from Adaptec. " I apologize if this history is wrong.
