I have an AUX question that hopefully one of you experts can
answer.  How does the SCSI driver handle seeking under AUX.
Does the driver issue a seek, put itself to sleep, and let
AUX do some more processing until an interupt arrives, or
does the driver issue the seek and sit there waiting until
it completes.  I know that standard Unix drivers will put
themselves to sleep, but that doesn't mean that the SCSI
driver does!  I was curious if they use the existing
SCSI routines or if they wrote new ones for AUX.
Please E-Mail any responses.  Thanks in
advance  for any help.
