[comp.os.minix] Amiga Minix Hard Disk Drivers

What is the situation with hard disk device drivers for Amiga Minix?

I am asking this because it would probably be possible to use the device
drivers that come with A-Max II (the Mac emulator for the Amiga).

These device drivers don't really have OS dependencies in them just
basically the SCSI protocol or non-SCSI requests for blocks (switchable).
I don't know the status of these device drivers; are they developed by A-Max
or the manufacturers of the hard disk controller devices?  I know many of
the more popular device drivers come with A-Max, but it is probably
possible to get them from the manufacturer, say GVP.  Anybody know?

The A-Max device drivers are position-independant single-hunk amiga
load-files which internally have a setup routine to call while AmigaDos
is still around to find out where the devices are and store that address
in the device driver.

...just an idea.
