Subject: State of UltraStor 14F SCSI driver
Date: 1 Jul 1992 17:59:43 GMT

I happen to be one of the few (2??) people running Linux with an UltraStor 14F
SCSI controller; it seems like the rest of the Linux SCSI world is using
Adaptec or Seagate controllers. I have seen mentioned in a few posts that
someone is working on SCSI driver improvements, but I haven't seen any specific
adapters mentioned (other than the trusty AHA1542). Is anybody working on
the UltraStor driver? Are the improved drivers available anywhere? I looked in
the obvious places on banjo.concert.net and tsx-11.mit.edu; no luck.

I just received the 14F technical docs from UltraStor yesterday, so I am going
to work on the existing driver this weekend, but I don't want to duplicate
effort. Any hints for accomplishing such a task? I haven't fooled around
with drivers before, but the UltraStor docs look pretty straightforward. I
even joined the SCSI mailing list, but have yet to receive one piece of mail
from it other than the acknowledgement that I was signed up.

Thanks in advance!
Scott
