Well, the problem seems to be that not many people have working NeXT
hardware anymore. I for one, would fire up my turbo slab if it NetBSD
worked on it.
On the working scsi support, I just bit the bullet and committed your
code. At least people should be able to use the SCSI support now.
The code needs some cleanup:
- indentation is inconsistent in places and lines wrap.
- some of the debugging stuff needs to be removed.
- commented out lines of code should be eliminated.
Do you want to work more on this?
