I have uploaded the updated driver at: ftp://ftp.uec.ac.jp/pub/firewire/beta/firewire-bsd-5.0-20010903 Note that this driver is an as-is basis code, so there is no document for users. Although the kernel patch includes a file name as "sbp.c", this code does not support any firewire disk devices. This code is only a sample for "firewire" bus. Also, this driver only support OHCI1394 compliant chipset, since I think 1394 I/F card are being converged to OHCI series, and it is not easy to get other chipset cards. Anyway, I would like to know whether my implementation direction would be acceptable for FreeBSD folks or Not. Katsushi Kobayashi wrote: > I have been rewriting the driver to change a generic one.
