	Officially, the message I got about that was that since it didn't 
respond as SCSI-1 or 2, there wasn't much we could do with it.

	Personally, I was just pondering that question myself.  About two days 
ago, I sent a message to support@asante.com asking what the main chip was 
that drove it, along with any information they have on how to feed it 
data through the SCSI bus and differences between it and card-based 
solutions.  I haven't heard back from them yet.  I think the hardest 
thing will be detecting that it exists, as it doesn't identify itself as 
any type of hard drive or anything.  I also asked them about that.  Told 
them I was thinking about writing a driver.

	If I can find out the proper changes, is there a file anywhere 
available by ftp (I don't have ethernet yet, so sup isn't possible) that 
contains just the drivers (I'd love to just have the source for the ethernet 
driver)?  Any idea?  Anybody have the driver source who would be willing
to email it?

	BTW,  s anybody trying to figure out those SONIC-based cards?  I 
thought I remembered hearing progress waaaaay back (i.e. two or three 
months ago) saying that they had at least gotten part of the config 
process to work.  If I'm remembering that correctly, assuming that 
whoever got there used a modified driver, I'd love to see source for that, 
too, in case the scsi boxes use a SONIC.

	Any info would be helpful.

TIA,
Dave (JKurtz)
