I'm using the Adaptec 1542B and will later add support for the 1740. One thing I'm adding is the handling of residual counts, at least when in target mode. Weren't some people working on that before? In particular, I thought some people wanted short reads to work on tapes. If someone has changes to support residual counts send them to me and I'll incorporate my target stuff in. Otherwise, bug me if you need residual count code and I'll get this out shortly. If anyone knows the scoop about residuals being left out (like it is a pain to support on all host adapters) feel free to speak out (how long does this take to get to Oz?). If you have a need for target mode send me e-mail. You should have the ability to debug any problems that show up. A hacker needing target mode on a non-adaptec host adapter would be great. You are warned that the Adaptec 1542C doesn't work the same as the 1542B in target mode, and may currently not work at all. Peter Dufault HD Associates
