I started looking at the MacOS driver a couple months ago (only for a
couple of hours); hadn't figured out much though, other than that it
works pretty similarly to the Ethernet stuff :)

Anyways, SCSI DMA's been on my to-do list for years (ever since I got
the Ethernet working), but I've just been too busy to really do anything
:( However, if anyone wants to tackle SCSI DMA, I'd be glad to answer
any questions you might have about how the DMA stuff works (not that I
really know either, but I guess I have the general idea :)
