It went real smoothly getting it going (well, one f-u, but we won't talk about that :-) .... anyhow, I noticed the boot messages produced by the ahc driver, it seemed excessively verbose. The DK440LX has the 7895 controller which has 2 busses, and all targets on both buses get a line each to announce their status. I get a LOT of these lines: ahc0: Selection Timeout on A:1. 1 SCBs aborted ahc1: Selection Timeout on A:0. 1 SCBs aborted ahc0: Selection Timeout on A:2. 1 SCBs aborted ahc1: Selection Timeout on A:2. 1 SCBs aborted 32 lines of this. Isn't this really excessive? For anyone? Even if the messages are needed (and I like having the message) it wouldn't be all that difficult to come up with a format to squeeze all messages from each buss into 2 lines (one header, one data line) so all the info could still be displayed, but in a far more readable format.
