[parisc-linux] Re: MUX driver on E55

[Christoph Plattner]

Hello,

if it is possible, send the code to me (perhpas I can
have a look @ week end.

Is it possible to geht the HP-UX driver codes for those
to things ? MUX + SCSI ?

I was offered to sign a NDA, but then nothing happens ...
It would be more easy for me to read such original HP-UX
code. Perhaps you see a possibility to send it also.

Have a nice week end

Christoph
