This really improved the performance of my dual PIII-866 w/512MB Ram and AIC7899 scsi. I have a couple of cheetah drives that I am writing data that I get off of an ATM card.(about 12-14 MB/sec rate). This has significantly lowered the number of dropped packets on the ATM read. I would suggest, if at all possible, putting this in the 2.4.2 kernel.

Here at VA we're already using Jason's driver -- it works on the Intel STL2 motherboard, while Doug's driver doesn't (or didn't, a month ago). While we're discussing SCSI drivers, I'd also like to put in a good word for the Sym-2 Symbios/NCR drivers from Gerard Roudier: ftp://ftp.tux.org/roudier/drivers/portable/sym-2.1.x/ Joe-Bob says: "Check it out." -- Chip Salzenberg - a.k.a. - "Give me immortality, or give me death!" // Firesign Theatre - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
