eh???  You don't follow FreeBSD very carefully.  Promise sends full docs
to sos@freebsd.org who writes the driver.  

I'd much rather have a talented driver writer who knows FreeBSD coding
style create the driver from vendor docs, than trusting the intern
silicon guy the forced to write code make one.
