   I got the DMA to work on my SCSI driver, and I think I have figured a way
to get it off my machine and out to the net! It is not very robust yet, but
I can mkfs and mount with it. One big problem ,and another reason for not 
rushing to post it was an initial transfer rate of about 512 bytes / sec! With
DMA and not polled IO it runs as fast as my AT wini :) It should handle SCSI
tape, but I have not tried that yet though (as soon as I can replace a board
{and get the school's sys admin to open the machine} I will). I wan't to
add a few more features, but since a few people have asked for the
driver I'll post it as is. I'll then send a revised version to any
archive sites when it's done!
