Do you actually have a gdth card? Do we know of other users?
Maybe just dropping the driver might be a better option..
Yes, no, and possibly :-)
The gdth hardware is based on the i960 chip, and has borrowed quite some
concepts for the now-defunct I2O design.
Plus it's PCI and SCSI parallel only, so it took me quite some time to
find a machine where I could fit both in.
So I do agree that this could be classified as obsolete, much like we
did with the I2O subsystem some years back.
Would actually save me quite some time, as the driver itself is really
just too ugly to behold in its current state.
And bringing it into this century would amount to basically a rewrite.
Cheers,
Hannes
