Hi Everyone!

	I'm all set to go out and get an Adaptec 1542B SCSI adapter or an
AHA1740 to run in 1542 mode, but I thought I'd ask the net first if anyone's
heard of any effort to write a 386BSD driver for the Western Digital
WD7000-FASST2 SCSI adapter.  I'm using one now with Esix SvsV R3.2D and a big
Maxtor disk.  I've never been overly thrilled by it though because there's no
boot driver for it - I have to boot from an IDE disk and mount the Maxtor
afterwards...  I feel like it might a good time to break down and get the
Adaptec card, unless.....  Someone is working on a driver for the WD7000?  :-)
Much thanks to all of you!
