Well, buried in some other activities. You certainly have had my ack to
remove dec_esp.c already and I started to work on replacement front-end
drivers long ago.
Unfortunately one of the three hardware configurations to be supported by
the front-ends does not fit the interrupt handling model implemented by
the esp_scsi.c core. Or it is actually the other way round as you cannot
adjust hardware to fit the driver, so I am in a process of rewriting the
core a little bit in this respect -- the core switches to interrupt
polling under some circumstances and does not expect a higher-priority
interrupt of a different kind to arrive from the bus master controller the
SCSI chips are attached to instead.
Being no SCSI expert though I have to study the SCSI spec well enough to
understand some bits and I am somewhat distracted these days, so it may
take a while yet. It is at the highest priority on my to-do list though.
