SCSI driver for Adaptec 2742T?

SCSI driver for Adaptec 2742T?

[jmk]

None that I know of. Someone should probably do it as the Adaptec 2xxx controllers
are fairly popular. However, it's unlikely to be me as
	1) I tried again to get the manuals only to receive the "User's Guide"
	   like I did 2 years ago and on further inquiry discover the useful
	   manuals are all on back-order;
	2) I don't have a controller and they do seem rather expensive compared
	   to the NCR8xx alternatives with similar performance;
	3) I looked at the Linux driver after this question came up last time
	   and got frightened.

I finally found the ftp site, got the disks.  Only B.COM wont recognize my SCSI controller
it's an Adaptec 2742T EISA.  Yes, plug and play is only a dream.

Any plans to get a driver going for this card?
Thanks,
Russ

In comp.os.plan9 you write:

Some brilliant corporate budgeting scheme I'd guess.

I grabbed mine for $125 at a computer store going out of buisness sale.

I've got no chance at hacking it over as I can't compile for plan9.  Oh well,
just hoping.
