You both are probably absolutely correct, so I withdraw my claims. :-)
Now I only wish I had some time to try finding the bugs in the mscp
driver...

:-) I have a bunch of UDA50, both for my PDP-11s,
and for the 8650.
Hmpf. I need the machine for a UDA50. Don't you have a PDP
11/70
handy? ;-) However, the
Ultrix driver is a beautiful beast. When you declare an MSCP
disk, you don't say where it's located. You just say:
disk ra<x> at mscp drive <y>
Controllers are declared as:
controller uda0 at uba0
controller uq0 at uda0
controller hsc0 at ci0
And then the disks can be either at hsc0 or uq0, and you can move them
without problems.
DSSI is yet another, and so on...
This is also true for NetBSD. From my knowledge
the shebang should
be build like this: True. And
also, the NetBSD RA support have some bug in it, along with
being very much tied to the UDA50/KDA50 right now.
As Ragge already stated, at
least the last objection is not true
anymore. The NetBSD MSCP stuff resides now in sys/dev/mscp what means
that it is machine independent. This also implies proper abstraction
of the MSCP stuff from the underlieing controller hardware.
