Hello. I found an old Adaptec pcmcia scsi adapter in a box. It uses the aic(4) driver but it will not attach during boot/insertion it complains that it is "unable to detect chip!".
I found this oneliner patch in the archives: http://mail-index.netbsd.org/netbsd-bugs/2005/12/04/0013.html This patch makes it attach and work. aic1 at pcmcia1 function 0: <Adaptec, Inc., APA-1460 SCSI Host Adapter, Version 0.01> scsibus0 at aic1: 8 targets, 8 luns per target scsibus0: waiting 2 seconds for devices to settle... sd0 at scsibus0 target 4 lun 0: <DEC, RZ29B (C) DEC, 0016> disk fixed Above is the external scsi-box for my DECstation connected to an i386 laptop. It mounts and works fine. Now, whose leg do I need to (figuratively) hump to get this committed? /B
