That's good to hear that I am at least partially wrong then.

It's too bad Phase 5 didn't use a LSI PCI SCSI chip. Creating
a driver may have been much easier then. 

BTW I have found another thing I was wrong about.  I thought
most of the LSI chips had the same or nearly the same script
processor.  After looking at the scripts.pdf document from
the LSI web site, I see that some of the instructions or
instruction variations are not supported on the 770 chip.
