Martin,

	I think I'm the one who would have to sign up for TYPE_RAID driver
writing.  I'll probably need some pointers, and it won't be fast, but
I've definitely got a carrot.  I think the last scsi-howto for
programming was dealing with the 2.4 series.

	Also, any info on the Tachyon chips would be helpful.  I have a TS and
a HPFC-5000C (32-bit old chip).

Thanks,

Mark
