I think you're being a bit childish, Nate. Certainly the `new' SCSI code I got from Julian (the same code which went into FreeBSD) was *quite* buggy. Among other things, it didn't work on the UltraStor board I have *at all*. Perhaps the later patches (many of which originally came from me) have fixed the problems, but there has been no real impetus for us to switch to the other code, as the known bugs in the current code have been fixed. In the fullness of time, we will be updating the SCSI code in the i386 port, but there are many other things of higher priority. -- - Charles Hannum NetBSD group Working ports: i386, hp300, amiga, sparc, mac68k, pc532.
