Strange, I'm pretty certain the linux documentation
project now includes my document:
  http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/SCSI-2.4-HOWTO

Have you looked at Eric Youngdales site:
  http://www.andante.org/scsi.html  ?

Alan Cox wrote an article about developing a SCSI driver
(but its a little out of date). Then there are the
maintainers of the existings scsi adapter drivers
who may lend you a hand. Best to address your general
scsi queries to the [e-mail]

I went to an IB talk at the OLS and it seems that most
