Um, ok.  Well, can you explain why not?  AFAIK, you just made the WD
SCSI driver a module rather than in the kernel -- I'd be willing to
sacrifice WD users for aic7xxx users (since aic must outnumbers wd by
10 to 1 or so).

What would it take to get this released?  Do you need more testing of?
Does Enrique have this kernel?  Should I pester him to build a version
of boot-floppies with this kernel for testing?
