Yah ... I asked a friend who used to work at at Sun about the `sw'. That's
what he told me. In fact, he said it was more or less identical except
for the DMA stuff, and the DMA stuff was more or less identical to that
on the Sun 3/50 (no wonder they called it `SCSI Weird' :-).
Well, given that our `si' driver doesn't do DMA yet, I decided stay up
for a while last night and hack si.c. The resulting file and files.sparc
change was sent off to someone to try out ... I haven't heard back from
him yet.
If anyone else with a 4/110 wants to try it, send me an e-mail.
(It was worth a shot, anyway :-)
