Hi,

I am currently using a driver from Initio that supports the 9100UW SCSI
adapter. I am having some problems with this driver in combination with
the DC390 driver. (I know it isn't supported, and I am contacting Initio
as well, but wanted to see if anything major changed since 2.1.118)

If things HAVE changed, in what way? I will try and implement the needed
changes in the driver code myself, if/when Initio is unwilling/unable to
do it. The drivers are under the GPL, so that would not be the problem.

The problems I am having are the following: If I start a backup to a DAT
connected to the DC390(T), after a period of time there are read-timeouts
on the drives connected to the Initio card. During all other operation I
have not had any problems.

The driver was said to be compatible to 2.1.118, so I would like to know
if anything changed in the scsi code since then that should be enforced.

Thank you very much for any/all information,

Bas Vermeulen.

PS: If anyone feels like taking a look at this code, let me know... :)
