  46. STATUS:
  47. o The core setup works within limits.
  48. o The scsi layer seems to almost work.
  49. I'm still chasing down the hang bug.
  50. o The block OSM is mostly functional
  51. o LAN OSM works with FDDI and Ethernet cards.
  52. TO DO:
  53. General:
  54. o Provide hidden address space if asked
  55. o Long term message flow control
  56. o PCI IOP's without interrupts are not supported yet
  57. o Push FAIL handling into the core
  58. o DDM control interfaces for module load etc
  59. o Add I2O 2.0 support (Deffered to 2.5 kernel)
  60. Block:
  61. o Multiple major numbers
  62. o Read ahead and cache handling stuff. Talk to Ingo and people
  63. o Power management
  64. o Finish Media changers
  65. SCSI:
  66. o Find the right way to associate drives/luns/busses
  67. Lan:
  68. o Performance tuning
  69. o Test Fibre Channel code
  70. Tape:
  71. o Anyone seen anything implementing this ?
  72. (D.S: Will attempt to do so if spare cycles permit)
