Re: advansys modules fails to compile in 2.5.8-pre3

[Douglas Gilbert <dougg@torque.net>]

Rasmus,

Point 1)
Here is a tarball of driver/scsi/advansys.[hc]
taken from lk 2.5.7-dj3. It is a bit big to attach
so you can fetch it here:
http://www.torque.net/sg/p/advansys257dj3.tgz

My advansys fix has been in Dave Jones's tree for nearly
2 months now (along with a lot of other SCSI fixes and
enhancements). Maybe if we said we were introducing a
new IO subsystem called the "small computer system
interface" we might be more successful having our patches
accepted :-)

Point 2)
From advansys.c:
 * As of March 8, 2000 Advanced System Products, Inc. (AdvanSys)
 * changed its name to ConnectCom Solutions, Inc.

Then if you go to www.connectcom.net you get told that
advansys has been taken over by initio.
