The aic driver (btw., you should have mentioned it, ``Adaptec'' is not specific enough) suffers from enormous bit rot, it hasn't been maintained for ages. Nobody from the active developers seems to be plagued with such a controller. Of course, we don't mind you picking this driver as ``your baby'', and becoming a maintainer for it. The AIC6260/6360 chips seem to get a new live these days, so i would really like to see somebody maintaining this code. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
