I think that it would be of interest what kernel you use. I didn't even
get that far with 1.3-current kernels as they stopped while detecting the
Connect32 podule.
But contrary to others, I didn't have any serious problem accessing my
SCSI CDROM via the Connect32 with the September 8 VOYAGER-SCSI-TEST
kernel. I didn't use any more complicated hardware, though, like streamers
etc.
In this respect I would also be interested in whether the Connect32 driver
code has changed in recent kernels (i.e. 1.4 ones, modified the way the
VOYAGER-SCSI-TEST kernel was) or not and whether recent changes affect the
SCSI interface code.

Still trying to set up a Connect32-SCSI-system running NetBSD/arm32,

Thanks for developing NetBSD/arm32 to everybody involved.
