Maybe we can. I've asked this question, Charles Hannum has asked this
question.
The aic6360 driver *may* work for an AIC-6260 as well (what is used in the
1522 controller). However, I and he haven't heard from anyone using
this driver with anything other than a AIC-6360. Jarle Greipsland wrote
this driver. I made one minor change that let the probe maybe work with
a 6260 (it used a register only available on the 6360) and cooexist with
some DOS device drivers for this same board (that left the board in a
somewhat odd state that the original probe didn't like). Charles Hannum
did some further cleanup and it's now really in the NetBSD source tree.
However, we'd really like to know:
Has anyone used the aic6360 driver with anything other than
an AIC-6360, like an Adaptec 1520/1522 adapter?
The 6360 is found on some motherboard embedded SCSI controllers as well
as some multi-media boards including the SoundBlaster SCSI-2.
