Adaptec is going to release the source code for SCSI driver soon for anyone to download and develop a driver for Mac OS X Tiger.

What is the interest level of this community to work on such development?


Source code is helpful. Documentation is better. I'm sure there are a lot of folks who would like to see an OpenSource Adaptec driver for OS X.

May I point out that if Adaptec does do this, it would be best if development began by porting the code to the supported IOSCSIParallelFamily instead of using the unsupported and deprecated IOSCSIFamily.


I have done such conversion before and I may have a few cycles I could throw at such a thing.

I have a PCMCIA card, I wonder if this is related... (1460 or 1480, don't have it handy right now) Probably somewhat of a different beast to support over the PCI stuff. I thought about porting the Linux driver, I think the source was available, but I have no experience with drivers so I gave up, plenty of other things consuming my time.
