That "one" will have to be you. I don't see why anyone else would be interested. Note that writing a device model based on a driver will only emulate the features used by that driver; other drivers may use other features. > Just how "shouldn't be too difficult" should it be? If you have a spec, it's just a matter of implementing it register by register. > I am sure it'll help a lot of Adaptec users, regardless of DG/UX or > other platforms. Most Adaptec users will switch to IDE or virtio-blk. -- I have a truly marvellous patch that fixes the bug which this signature is too narrow to contain.
