Subject: Progress Report: PB1400/5300 SCSI driver


I've gotten the header issues with NetBSD's sbc driver resolved on the
machine dependent section, and I've started trying to mach-ize the driver.
This is where I need help from others.  First, the base address for this
hardware isn't publicly known.  I have no idea how to go about tracking
that down, except that MacsBug would be a good place to begin.  Second,
I've run into something in NetBSD-mac68k in which setjmp's return value is
used to determine whether a bus error occured in the driver.  I don't have
the slightest idea how to implement this functionality.  I'll probably ask
for ideas on that from the NetBSD-mac68k folks on that, too....

What's left is figuring out how to handle the attach code and stuff, and
replacing all of NetBSD's writes and reads with calls to inb and outb and
stuff, as well as everything mentioned above.


Later,
David
