But I don't have a wide advansys card, and the code paths in the driver are very, very different. I think I know everything that needs to be done to make it work, but not having a card to test with, and not being infallible makes life tricky. So, anyone got a *wide* advansys card that they would like to test with? Bonus points if you have ethnic hardware to plug it into; something with an IOMMU like ia64, parisc or sparc64 would be a real bonus. Or if you have such a card, and don't want it any more, I'll take it off your hands. [1] A highly evil interface from the bad old days when machines only had one bus and no iommus. [2] 10MHz bus, 8 bits wide ... I'm at 80% bus utilisation, that's not too shabby. I've not looked into performance yet, only getting it working. I've got a scsi analyser, and this seems like a great opportunity to learn how to use it. -- Intel are signing my paycheques ... these opinions are still mine "Bill, look, we understand that you're interested in selling us this operating system, but compare it to ours. We can't possibly take such a retrograde step."
