I have a Tri-Star 486 DX66 ISA VLbus machine with an
Ultrastor 34F SCSI controller.  I want to install SCO UNIX 2.0v2 on it
but Ultrastor only has a driver for SCO UNIX 2.0v4.  I was going
to see if their Ultrastor 14F driver for SCO UNIX 2.0v2 would work
but they said it would not work because that version of the
14F driver relies on the WD emulation which the 34F does not have.

Has anyone written a Ultrastor 34F device driver for SCO UNIX they 
would be willing to share?  Even if it is not for 2.0v2, it might
be easily adaptable for 2.0v2 (I imagine it would be fairly simple
to adapt Ultrastor's 2.0v4 drvier but they will not give me a
copy of their source code :(, only the specs on their driver).
Maybe one of the Linux 34F driver developers has also worked 
with SCO UNIX?

Has anyone written any kind of SCSI host adapter driver for SCO
UNIX?  Can you give me an idea as to how difficult a task it is?
