Unfortunately, SCSI support did not make it into .95a. However, there are
clean diffs against .95. The code autodetects too, and can run in non-scsi
systems so it will be possible to include SCSI support in the standard
distribution.
Currently, the only finished low-level driver is for the seagate
SCSI hosts. Dave Gentzel is currently testing his Ultrastor driver -
so it should become part of the SCSI distribution soon.
I don't know the status of the Adaptec driver, and the DTC / future
domain drivers are student projects and therefore subject to spring
break.
