AFAIK, the controller's basic architecture is derived from older WD SCSI controller chips, so it shouldn't be too hard to write for. > I know there is much better support for Adapted than Western Digital, > but this SCSI controller has a great feature that I haven't seen in > any Adapted SCSI controllers.
