I'm tasked with developing a new SCSI driver for 2.4; but I'm running into issues that (a) SCSI drivers are different from other Linux device drivers and
(b) none of the SCSI driver docs/how-tos seem to have been updated since 2.0.x.

Strange, I'm pretty certain the linux documentation project now includes my document:
http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/SCSI-2.4-HOWTO
and has for the last 6 months.

I'm making progress, but could someone direct me to a list of do's and don't's for SCSI drivers in 2.4?

Have you looked at Eric Youngdales site:
http://www.andante.org/scsi.html ?

Alan Cox wrote an article about developing a SCSI driver (but its a little out of date). Then there are the maintainers of the existings scsi adapter drivers who may lend you a hand. Best to address your general scsi queries to the [email protected]

Also, anybody else looking at developing IB and or SRP?

I went to an IB talk at the OLS and it seems that most players don't want to say much; so much for open software.

pfiffle. The software and standards are open. The hardware players aren't yet. This should put to rest any foolish notions about the relative importance of some things.
