I have tried to reach you by mail with no results.

Yes, I got a bootable that will work with aha154xA scsi cards.
No, you cannot ftp it from me.
Mail me and tell me where I can ftp it to you. I will send both a 
bootable dist.fs and the modified as.c code. I do not at present
have code for asboot and bootas, you will have to save these images
from the floppy image.

If tour mail bounces, try me at tha@ulrik.uio.no.
