[driver-discuss] Re: aic7899 support

[Javen Wu]

Hi Marco,

If you only want to use the driver, Solaris10 and Solaris express have 
already include
the driver binary. You can download the Solaris express from:
http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/solaris-express/get.jsp
But the driver is not open sourced because it's a 3rd party driver from 
Adaptec.
I think it's not easy to access the source code of the cadp160.
