It includes helpful headers describing all the controller commands. As the email contact given is 'arrays@compaq.com' I suspect that the author is a Compaq employee. > Jordan gave him block major 29.

I now have block#29 and character#109 and will use these for the "non-cuckoo version" of the driver (i.e. the driver steals the vectors of the wdc if it sees a Smart controller on boot - this allows me to install FreeBSD in the usual way on a pure-RAID system - details at <URL:http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~md/ida/README>). I should add that, using this driver, FreeBSD has been running on the Compaq Smart family of controllers without snags for over three years now.
