Metcalf) Subject: Documentation for PAS16 SCSI adapter To: hackers@freebsd.org Cc: metcalf@snet.net Message-id: <9706301557.AA29429@synapse.bms.com> MIME-version: 1.0 X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL23] Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-hackers@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello, I am writing to ask if there is any kind soul reading this mailing list who knows how I can get my hands on documentation for the SCSI adapter on a ProAudioStudio sound card. The adapter is buggy in that writing to my SCSI Zip 100 drive results in corrupted files. The author of the device driver according to the FreeBSD source code has not responded to any of my questions. Media Vision is discontinuing all support for the card as of today and charges $20.00 just to ask them about how I can get documentation. It seems that I will have to fix the driver myself, and that's fine. I need the practice. But I can't do it without explicit documentation. Is there anybody in this group who has copies of the documentation or knows who to contact who might. I vaguely remember reading something some time back saying that Trantor would be the contact and that Trantor has been acquired by Adaptec. Would Adaptec be the place to go for technical documantation for writing this device driver? Thanks for any suggestions, JM --- Jeffrey M.
