7100.  G3 desktop comes with mesh.

Too bad. I don't think I have space for yet another kernel tree on my
Lombard, or the stomach to get involved with the Nubus kernel.

I have 9600 with both MESH & 53C94 - both have devices - and my CD-RW is on
that machine (not tried under linux yet).

So, time willing, I'm happy to test things.

I'll try to cook up someting reasonably safe...

The patch I sent should fix the immediate problem with burning CD's in
disk-at-once mode.  It works for me.  But clearly there's room for SCSI
improvements so that this doesn't happen again with other new commands.

I understood that :-)

It's more about adding disconnect support to the 53C94 PPC driver at the
moment. I'm not touching MESH 'cause I've got no experience with that
code, and no specs. I'm a bit familiar with the 53C9x series chips in the
old Macs.
