Does anyone have a SCSI driver for MACH targetted at any of the PC-AT or clone cards ? I'm looking for the source of one to build into a MACH kernel before sitting down and writing one myself ! Any pointers would be most welcome ! Thanks Stu

I would recommend first writing a SCSI MIG protocol, so that you can write generic SCSI-MIG disk, tape, CDROM, scanner, etc. drivers which then talk SCSI-MIG commands to your SCSI driver. Every UNIX I've seen that supports SCSI has a multiplexor like this, but the mux is ad hoc and difficult to re-use for funky devices like scanners. Or networks: SCSI is several times faster than Ethernet, and makes a a great IP transport for a few computers close together. Mach 3.0 needs an official SCSI MIG protocol. Lance
