Well, first, we were looking for docs, but Adaptec turned out to be
a /dev/null when it came to that. The occasional email came back,
but nothing that we could use. Then, Justin Gibbs was kind enough
to change the license on his driver in FreeBSD, which we had some
problems with. So now, it's just a matter of porting the FreeBSD
driver. The people who were going to do this (Wolfgang and me)
haven't had much time to do it, although it's not a particularly
difficult task. I mean to do it before the end of next month,
which is likely to be when the 1.5 branch happens.
