if you've got plan 9 with source running anywhere, and a reasonable
level of documentation for the controller (which might be a driver
for some other system), it's fairly easy to write a new scsi adapter
driver for plan 9.  it's best if you work from a data sheet for the
controller; other drivers sometimes do very odd things needlessly
(but then again, chips have bugs, and odd things are not always `needless').

I'm also interested in the DPT 2024+.  It's the only reason
I don't have Plan 9 running at home.

Hello,

from http://plan9.att.com/plan9/doc/port.html

The SCSI adapter must be either an Adaptec 1542[BC] or compatible (e.g., any Buslogic
ISA, EISA or PCI controller) or an Ultrastor [13]4f.


Is this still the case?  How about a Future Domain TMC1680?  Is this supported or compatiblewith any of the above?

Thanks for any info.
