[parisc-linux] FW SCSI on 735

[van de Werken, Matthew (DEM, PH)]

Sorry to be sending this to the list, but I wasn't sure who other than
Richard needs to see it.

This has been asked before, by me, but I'd really like to get this going
soon. I was under the impression that Richard Hirst was to be receiving a
735 in the last week or so. If so, how's progress on the FW scsi support
going Richard (that was only a little bit tongue-in-cheek). Otherwise, I was
also under the impression that someone (can't remember who now, which is why
I'm sending this to the list rather than directly to the individual) was
going to be organising some doc's on the Outfield chip for me (or, at least,
some sort of NDA in anticipation of said docs). Is there any progress on
this? Who do I have to prod (unfortunately away from real development work)
to get this in my hands? 

If this has to wait until after the official release, that's fine, just let
me know; I'll be tied up with other things for a few weeks anyway, but I
just wanted to get the ball rolling again, and to let y'all know I'm still
keen on this.

A related note: is there support for the EISA bus in this machine, or will
that come when(if) outfield is fully supported? I'd really like to be able
to run ISA network cards in my machine (even if there's only support for
something as basic as NE2000!).

Great work guys - still can't believe I can boot this machine with Linux!
