i tried rewriting it myself...i cannot get it to insmod. it just hangs...can anyone help? i am not very knowledgeable of the scsi driver code ;-(
Umm the atp870u is supported in 2.2 and 2.4 by the default kernels.
...so one would think...yes it is supported technically, and the atp870u driver does exist...but the 2.4 one does not work, that is a known fact. browsing the forums, it seems that people were complaining about

2037 not working, but that the original one worked just fine.
some of the code has a different format in 2.4 than 2.2 and 2.0, mostly the external stuff to load as modules...etc, but i can't get it to work. so i needed help porting the old one into the new 2.4 framework
if you will.
regards,

I think you need to work out why the newer one is failing on your specific hardware. Standard Red Hat kernel....
