The problem is I don't have any documentation for the LSI parallel

is likely to break the latter.
And what with me no way of fixing it. Hence I decided on this approach.

I surely can go ahead and patch up the scsi disk emulation, but it's
quite likely to break the LSI controller. If that's okay with everybody,
I'll surely go ahead there.

Reverse engineered devices are dangerous. They might work on some guests but break badly on others, or even worse, break when a guest driver is updated.

Is there no way to get the documentation?
