I've not heard of anyone doing that so far. One of the scst project members has a port of some LSI MPT target drivers to scst. They are here http://bj.soulinfo.com/%7Ehugang/scst/tgt/. I've been trying to get them working with a 53c1030 series LVD card and they don't get past exporting basic inquiry data. The contact for the drivers hasn't responded to any of my email's either, and the main project doesn't support them. > The MPTSAS drivers you 'll find in the kernel tree are intiator mode only. > We have a driver called mptstm, supplied to various customers.
