No, the idea was to get all the lowlevel ata/atapi stuff sorted out and layered so that it was maintainable and extendable. You could add a CAM top to the atapisubsystem instead of the "native" atapi drivers, it would be more work for the disks (lots more). My priority is still to get all the lowlevel stuff stabilized, and to get support for various controller HW, including top notch performance. Also CAM has to be de-SCSIfied before any of this is possible, and frankly I dont se anybody having the time/knowledge to do that for the foreseable future... -Søren To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
