I've sent some HP internal URLs to someone in HP who expressed interested in getting SPIFI (NIO SCSI) docs published. I haven't heard back from him in a while. Someone from HP who shares your interest can do either (or both) of the following two things: o write and publish an initial version of the code you need and provide technical support when needed. This is what I did for ccio code. (which is trivial compared to writing SPIFI chip support) o Enable someone else to write the code by: review the relevant unpublished docs, fix references to IP not owned by HP, delete people/project names, get an HP attorney to review and bless the result. Any other takers inside HP? If so reply to me privately and I'll try to help locate the documents. grant Grant Grundler parisc-linux {PCI|IOMMU|SMP} hacker +1.408.447.7253
