- I'm in the midst of writing a driver for the Am33C93A Enhanced SCSI-Bus
- Interface Controller. This is *not* a commitment to finish it! It is
- being built to run under julian@tfs.COM (Julian Elischer's) modular SCSI
- system, which is currently in alpha (not even beta yet).
-
- Since I'm not using "Advanced mode" commands, it should run a WD7000-FASST2
- with no problems (ie: it should be chip-compatable with the non-AMD device).
