The kit assumes you want everything and breaks if you don't include all three devices. I've also changed the device numbers so that it leaves the original scsi driver alone, rather than trying to #ifdef one or the other. It required a new MAKEDEV since this changed the major device numbering scheme. Looking at the driver, it appears all the debugging code can be bracketed with #ifdef DEBUG--this should reduce the size of the driver somewhat, and should allow for including more devices in building your kernels. Julian mentioned a possible update, and I also understand 0.2 is well underway. My question is, should I make my device hacks above available, and do the work on putting in the #ifdefs to reduce the SCSI code, or hold off? --Steven
