ow. ide-scsi is in very bad shape and nobody is maintaining it or fixing
bugs in it or anything. The only reason we retain ide-scsi at all is, err,
because some tape drives need it.
If we have no alternative to using ide-scsi, and if the tape controllers in
question are not some terribly obscure things which nobody would seriously
use then we have a bit of a problem. I don't know of anyone who we can
turn to to get anything done in ide-scsi.
