I've built a new kernel binary with the latest mac_scsi patches included.
That is, the 23 patches that I recently sent to the scsi maintainers, in
addition to the previous 84.
This version of mac_scsi implements working PDMA which should benefit
68020- and 68030-based Macs (except for the IIfx). For example, sequential
disk read throughput on my LC III is about fifteen times faster (when
measured with dd).
The mac_scsi driver needs more work in order to support DMA on the IIfx
and PDMA on 68040-based PowerBooks. (All of the other 68040-based Macs use
the mac_esp driver and not mac_scsi.)
The download is here,

As before, this kernel configuration has the essential Mac drivers
built-in so that it can be used without an initrd, e.g. for installation.
