If you want access to the development repository, I can give it to you right now. If you're talking about getting the code into the tree, we're pretty much down to the aha1542, DPT, and worm driver. My guess is another month. For documentation, you can get the general idea for how the framework works by looking at http://www.FreeBSD.org/~gibbs/cam.html. This is the beginnings of an overview paper on FreeBSD-CAM. I don't think the conversion from SGML to HTML came out too nice, but I don't have any time right now to fix that... You can also retrieve the ANSI CAM specs from: ftp://ftp.symbios.com/pub/standards/io/x3t10/drafts/cam/ ftp://ftp.symbios.com/pub/standards/io/x3t10/drafts/cam3/ "Man-page" type documentation will have to wait a bit longer since my time is already over-committed for getting CAM-SCSI ready for 3.0 and completing aic7xxx target mode support. My goal is to complete the documentation before years end, but as it stands now, there is already more documentation for FreeBSD CAM than either the old SCSI layer or the ATAPI code. 8-) -- Justin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
