Re: tlug: serious aic7xxx driver bug

["Marc E. Christensen" <marc@example.com>]

Scott, since 2.0.33, there have been about 7 releases of the aic7xxx
driver.  I will look around in my notes for an FTP site but I may have
cleared out my mail about the aic7xxx.  I have recently replaced my 2940
with a Buslogic 958 UW 8^)  A very happy situation indeed...
