Adaptec 29320R

[Pailloncy Jean-Gérard <pailloncy@ifrance.com>]

Hi,

I found that the Adaptec 29320 (with AIC-7902) and all the AIC-79x are
not supported by OpenBSD.

In http://www.openbsd.org/plus.html, I found

In http://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi?ahc++NetBSD-current, I found

In
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?
query=ahc&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+5.2-
RELEASE+and+Ports&format=html, I found

(ahc) has no support for AIC-79xx on Open/Free/NetBSD.

I found that FreeBSD has a new driver named (ahd)

I wonder if a new driver will appear on OpenBSD soon to handle the new
chips.

Do you have any information ?
