SCSI drivers

[onkar.mahajan]

I want to learn writing SCSI drivers at home. What Hardware I should have
installed on my PC to do this ?
Please suggest me a minimilistic project that will help me learn writing
such drivers.

Hi Onkar

Have you read the Greg KH's book on the subject (named something with 
"Device Drivers") + relevant files in Documents/? Also, it is a good 
thing to first get your hands dirty in the way of working in an open 
community, so doing some work in the the Kernel Janitors-"project" [1] 
is often a good experience.
Btw, is there any specific reason you want to make SCSI-drivers? If you 
have some hardware not yet supported + a compiler, then you are halfway 
there... just need some time and knowhow then.

Good luck
