I didn't think it was a particularly useful thing for the driver to do, and I never got around to finishing the control utility. You could try talking to Julian Elischer though, he's been tinkering with it of late, and could probably give you some sample code. Even then, the controller doesn't tell you anything about whether it's talking to a backplane. I used to connect all the devices on the "real" SCSI busses to CAM as well, but when I did this, talking to the backplane killed the controller, so I turned that feature off. 8/ -- ... every activity meets with opposition, everyone who acts has his rivals and unfortunately opponents also. But not because people want to be opponents, rather because the tasks and relationships force people to take different points of view.
