I just unzip'd the following. 2 -rw-r--r-- 1 kline os 738 Jun 29 16:49 Readme.txt 56 -rw-r--r-- 1 kline os 28474 Sep 18 09:44 bsd4source.zip 40 -rw-r--r-- 1 kline os 19889 Jun 29 09:30 i91u.c 138 -rw-r--r-- 1 kline os 69805 Jun 29 09:30 i91uscsi.c 60 -rw-r--r-- 1 kline os 30152 Jun 29 09:30 i91uscsi.h No idea of the quality of this SCSI board; no holdings in CompUsa or this Initio outfit. I just asked a question, and thanks to alert people, we've got these data points. gary PS: `locate` can't find any of the i91u* source on my 4.1. -- Gary D.
