[ note, this reply is directed more at whomever integrated the ccd into freebsd, and/or has hacked on it in freebsd since then... ] On Mon, 17 Feb 1997 17:13:52 +0100 (MET) Christoph Kukulies <kuku@gilberto.physik.rwth-aachen.de> wrote: > Is it definite that ccd doesn't work for ISA (be it SCSI or IDE) > due to bounce buffers being required? So, maybe I'm missing how things work in the FreeBSD world, but what on earth does bounce buffers have to do with the ccd? The ccd is a layered driver, which knows nothing about the underlying component (or, at least, that's how it's _supposed_ to work, and is how it works in NetBSD). Really, any dependency on bounce buffers out side of specific scsi controller drivers is just plain broken. Jason R.
