This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
I have only tested the ABP5140 card and only with a single CDROM drive
but it seems to work fine. This driver relies on features found only in
the SCSI branch so will not work in -current until those changes
are brought in. It also doesn't have any error handling code *yet*.
The goal is to use this driver as the development platform for the new
generic SCSI layer error recovery/handling code.
PCI and EISA front ends will show up as soon as I get my hands on
the cards. There are also a few issues in the driver that I need
to clear up with AdvanSys before I can suggest sticking one of
these cards in your server. 8-)
Thanks to AdvanSys for releasing this code under a suitable copyright.
