The continuing lack of support is : largely due to the poor performance of the card; supporting it is no : fun and the card itself not terribly useful. The aic-6x60 support is really bad right now. There are many problems with using it, except possibly with the pcmcia based cards. I've given up hope of having a good driver for this in the near term, and unless something radical changes, I don't think that there will be a good CAM driver in place when the CAM cutover happens. There are many PIO vs DMA issues as well that could make things interesting. Someone stepping forward to prove me wrong would be great :-). I have programming information for the aic-6360, but I have too many other things on my plate to even think about getting to it for a few months.
