There's the mailing list.

I THINK this is a pretty well known problem. Actually, you're lucky the original driver recognizes the Ultra drives at all. | I have looked and looked and haven't been able to find a source other than | the latest kernel source, and those aren't any newer than the one we are | using (June 98) There are patches available for the 2.0.35 kernel source, as well as the 2.1.123 development kernel source. The URL is ftp://ftp.dialnet.net/pub/linux/aic7xxx/5.1.0-pre-patches Despite what it says, the latest is pre15, not pre14. Doug Ledford, the developer, just popped that one on the server before he left for a short time. It's fairly stable, but some people are still having trouble with their U2W controllers, and it's IDing one of my wide drives as a narrow drive. Other than that I've been using the patches Doug puts up for about a month and haven't had any other problems. Gary
