Right. I'm convinced support for V-class (PCI, IO Coherent) will happen before T-class (propritary busses, !IO-coherent). Later FGHI-class also use PCX-L CPU and thus should be ok. rbrad, christoph and a few others are working on support for those machines but I know SCSI on those machines is SPIFI-based (HP SCSI controller). In short, looks like your observations about 53c720 might be one of the few problematic drivers. thanks, grant
