Is there anything else? I'd like to see such a page too and have spent some time searching for the info already. I can say what some of the other differences are: CAM Common Access Mode You can put CAM on 2.2 though More newer devices supported, some older devices dropped (PAS16 SCSI part) I thought someone said it supports pthreads, but I don't know Support for SMP Symetrical Multi-Processor support (maybe only up to a quad processor, but still way cool) Anyone else??
