I concede this may have been the response in the past.  Its not, now.



So you're saying fixing the current SCSI subsystem once *now* costs more than applying all *future* SCSI fixes to _two_ SCSI subsystems, handling bug reports for _two_ SCSI subsystems, etc.


I'm saying that the current "old" one is already obsolete,
when all you have is a SAS chip on your mainboard.

All you need is a small, tiny, fast, slim SCSI Core.

Then don't use it at all. Write a block driver, if you really feel we need two SCSI cores.


Politics: "Nah, whatever you say, specs are *crap* and we'll
do it our way.  We are not interested in your way, even if it
were better.  Oh, and BTW, REQUEST SENSE clears ACA and LUN
is a u64."

This is a misrepresentation.  -We- understand the stuff you have posted.

But you continue to demonstrate that you simply do not understand the existing SCSI core code.

The SAS transport class supports commonality across all SAS implementations. This includes both MPT and Adaptec 94xx.

SAS transport class + libsas supports software implementations of SAS, including transport layer management. This includes Adaptec 94xx but NOT MPT.
