Actually, I sent it to Herb Peyerl and he sent it to Charles. I never heard back what, if anything, was done with it. I would be very surprised to learn that it was ever blindly integrated into any version of NetBSD without being examined by a disk expert. All of it was later incorporated into OpenBSD, except for a one line fix to the interrupt routine that is required on three of my machines but apparently violates some spec and causes trouble on other machines. I continue to patch around this. I did send several bug reports (what should I call them?) to various NetBSD people but never filed a PR. I won't make that mistake again.
