Some device drivers are better then others. The aic7xxx driver, for instance, will reset the bus if a timeout occurs and an abort message is unsucessful in clearing the problem. The abort logic is in the process of being moved to the generic SCSI layer so other drivers can take advantage of it, but I can only update the drivers for controllers I have documentation for, so this make take a little time. > >Marc G.
