Well, part of my summer internship at Albertsons was spent
getting linux up and running on NCR 3430's. Albertsons is
a huge customer of NCR and I still got nowhere trying to get
technical info on their 53c710 scsi implementation. Luckily
Richard Hirst had a working driver and I didn't end up needing
them. Given their attitude towards supplying the scsi info, I
don't have too much hope for them caughing up docs on their
proprietary SMP scheme. I'd love to be shown differently.
