I should have something going by the end of tonight; probe and attach is working but I'm not getting I/O interrupts (my mistake, I'm fairly sure). I'd hope by the end of the week that the Linux binary version of their control program will work too, although that's not so certain. I may need to negotiate for the sources for that. As for porting the driver - a "few tips" wouldn't help you. The driver's GPLed and not really something that would port well, so even if you did port it you'd still not be greeted with much enthusiasm. At any rate, keep your eyes on http://people.freebsd.org/~msmith/RAID; I'll post the first version (for -current only) up there as soon as I think it's not going to skin your cat. -- \\ Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. \\ Mike Smith \\ Tell him he should learn how to fish himself, \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ and he'll hate you for a lifetime. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
