You can jumper your drive to identify itself as drive type 0 (T_DIRECT), and use the sd driver. There's an `od' driver that has recently posted to a Japanese newsgroup. I'm currently in the process of integrating it into the regular kernel source. If you're impatient, i can send you what i've got by now, though there will be some additional changes required (currently being discussed on the freebsd-scsi list). -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
