I have a couple of Acorn SCSI cards that I have used with NetBSD/arm32,
but the performance hasn't been very good.

Now, an interesting thing I noticed on:
http://www.no.netbsd.org/Ports/mvme68k/index.html

The SCSI controller chip used in this port is the same chip as used
on the Acorn SCSI cards (WD33C93).

Also, I believe that the WD 7000FASST use the same controller chip.
At least my ATXT FASST does (too bad it is not supported by NetBSD).

This sounds like a place were code sharing should be possible,
although I haven't studied the code yet.

Any thoughts, anyone?

TIA!
