a discussion going on about removing this code from the burden of the GPL, but it won't happen before Beta, and this code should be tested before release. Supports 27/2842 class adaptec cards and is almost capable of supporting aic7870 based adapters (294X series cards). It does not support Wide controllers or the second channel on Twin boards although I have work in progress on getting both channels and running. I have also added a few performance improvements to this version that give us approximately a 25% boost over the original driver. These patches have been submitted to the author. Obtained from: Linux aic7770 driver (John Aycock - aycock@cpsc.ucalgary.ca)

This is VERY MUCH ALPHA SOFTWARE. You MUST know what you're doing to
|
|
use this, or else!!!

Ok, everything's been renamed to reference an "aic7xxx" driver instead
|
|
of "aha274x", and a merger of the two PCI patches I had has been put in,
|
|
along with re-doing the detection and configuration routines. To summarize
|
|
the status: it compiles cleanly. I don't expect it to work off the bat,
|
|
but it's for the 294x development people to synchronize their code
|
|
together.

|
The file scsi-diffs-1.1.59 is NOT a proper patch file, but some diffs
|
|
to kernel files concatenated together. I've sent these off to Drew,
|
|
but if you're testing this you'll have to apply them - it allows a
|
|
per-driver-instance can_queue variable, which for the aic7xxx driver
|
|
is the number of SCBs the card supports.

Good luck! I await your comments.. Mark, Alan - let me know where I
|
|
broke it, please ;-)
