It does - documenting block drivers was a gray area in source licensing
issues, so we just documented what we knew we could.

Sorry for commercial info, I just want to get this right - we have
skeleton SCSI/SCSA drivers, SCSI target drivers of various flavors, and
some third party drivers for sale as Specials.  You can send mail to
consult-info@sun.com for datasheets and a list of our products.

The number to call is 415-336-2400 in the US, or contact your local sales
critter for info.  If they can't help, by all means call us.
