Philip, I have already sent Lawrence Anthony the above file. It contains no AT&T Code so it was not an issue. The Digital SCSI interface is an open one and I know of no reason not to (Ultrix v4.2 is released). The more likely issue is that if he's actually trying to get at the added function- ality of the release, he's going to find out that scsi_data.c calls out devices that Ultrix v4.0 knows nothing about. But, I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.
