Don't know if anything else uses the same controller. Some hardware, not sparc-related, does. F.ex. some PPC systems have them, don't know whats the status. Some (older) DEC/alpha are also using it. So should be of interest to several FreeBSD- porting projects. > Porting the driver to FreeBSD is not as easy as it looks because > FreeBSD uses cam; there's no guide that I know of. There was a non-cam-Version out for FreeBSD, but this isn't a solution. But a piece of work which "only" needs to be cam-yfied. > Jake Btw, thanks for your info on wrong IRQ routing (which I assumed so far).
