if you've got plan 9 with source running anywhere, and a reasonable
level of documentation for the controller (which might be a driver
for some other system), it's fairly easy to write a new scsi adapter
driver for plan 9.  it's best if you work from a data sheet for the
controller; other drivers sometimes do very odd things needlessly
(but then again, chips have bugs, and odd things are not always `needless').
