The problems with the SCSI abort when related to some dumbness of the
midlevel SCSI code which has been mostly fixed. The problem is that the
old SCSI code was pretty overwhelmed with hostadapters that are as
intelligent as DTP's.
Michael Neuffer <neuffer@mail.uni-mainz.de> (EATA_DMA driver) and especially
Eric Youngdale did the code overhaul of the SCSI midlevel system; you may
want to contact them.
