: So what?  Do you want us to remove these drivers?

******* NO **********

The aic driver works well enough on most of the hardware in question.
Last time I noted bugs in it, I was politely asked to provide hardware
for the effort since the main developers don't have hardware.  I found
it was easier for me to get a different card than to do this because I
didn't wanna have to buy two of them.

The aic driver now works better than it did at the time (I'm able to
use the card from time to time).  As long as it is baiscally working,
there is no need to get rid of it.

The NetBSD/OpenBSD one has just as many problems with the card that I
have too, and others have confirmed this as well.

None the less, the driver (at least aic) is close enough to working
that it shoudl remain in the tree.  It does work for some things and
there are just some bugs in it (rather than it being hopelessly
broken).

Just my two cents.
