I took a first and I mean first stab at it last summer when I wrote the DS3100 code by defining some configuration bit fields to tell the driver to try things like synchronous versus asynchronous and the like, but I admit that it has a ways to go before it allows person A to hook up any SCSI peripheral B and have A and B plus the DS3100 all be happy! It's not a trivial feat by any means, but we're trying!!!! --- Ricky Palmer Ultrix Advanced Development --- Digital Equipment Corporation --- Nashua, New Hampshire --- ...
