What kind of devices do you have available? When I repair the #$%@! capstan on my Archive cartridge tape unit, I need to test with that... The need for tape backup was the reason I bought my card in the first place. At the moment, the only device I've got that's even halfway convenient to use in testing is an Olympus optical disk unit (removable media). The driver works reliably with that, but I've got a sneaking suspicion that a tape unit would stress things a bit more (error handling and such). Per Christoph's critique, I've successfully combined the three driver source files into a single source file, and eliminated all the deprecated includes as well as the structure typedefs. Still to do: add support for multiple HBAs, and eliminate distasteful hacks in detection code. Dunno how I'm going to test the multiple HBA code... -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Bob Tracy WTO + WIPO = DMCA? http://www.anti-dmca.org rct@frus.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------- - 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/
