How/where is that sort of thing addressed? I'm interested to know because I
have a SCSI-only machine at work here with an oddball SCSI controller
(53c710, the EISA-bus variant of the 53c810) that has only become supported
as of 2.2.13. So far, I've been unable to find a distro that will install
on it...
