[parisc-linux] Fast-Wide Diff. SCSI on a 735

Hi folks,

Just picked up a free 735/99 today, so suddenly I've become interested
in the status of the Outfield 53c720 driver. Has there been any progress
or is there just no information available? I'd be happy to test patches -
or even dive into the code myself, but without docs that sounds a little
pointless.

The box came with a FWD SCSI cage, and although I can scrounge a SE cage
to go in there, I'd like to make good use of these Seagate ST32430WD's
I've got laying around.

Nice things about this deal - it came with an Intel 10/100 network
card in the EISA slot, it came with a big HP drive cabinett with two
serviceabele 5GB Hawks in (and a possibly working full-height DAT
unit). It has 176MB of memory and still 2 banks free - and I can
scrounge memory to fill those banks. Pity it had an A1097C monitor -
I was crossing my fingers for another A4033A, but beggars can't be
choosers.

By the way, if I can get my hands on a 735/125 cpu/memory board, will
my /99 become a /125, or is there more to it than that?

cheers,
-Andy
