Message-ID: <2A6B89E3.7DE5@tct.com> Date: 21 Jul 92 03:52:03 GMT Article-I.D.: tct.2A6B89E3.7DE5 Organization: TC Telemanagement, Clearwater, FL Lines: 23 I am thrilled to find that my 386 boots Linux and 386BSD 0.1. I am glad to see widespread support for the AHA 1542 SCSI host adapter. However, being the proud owner of an AHA _1522_, I'm wishing that 386BSD and/or Linux could support what I have. And given the relative prices of the 1542 and 1522 (the latter is $100 cheaper), there must be many other people in my position. So (1) is there anyone who could write such a driver -- perhaps by making modifications to the 1542 driver(s)? And if not, (2) is there anyone who would donate an 80M IDE drive to a skilled yet modest programmer who happens to own a 1522, so that _he_ could write such a driver? And, just to make followups more likely, (3) what is the difference between the 1542 and the 1522? Perspiring minds want to know! Let's broaden SCSI support in the free-UNIX arena, shall we?
