[SunRescue] Proper use of VME scsi controllers?????

It still bites the bullet.  I sense it has lost touch with the VME
controllers in favor of the esp onboard things.  I just wish I could
find a stable enough NetBSD to run on any of my vme crates, so I could
try wacking a little of the driver code.  The old VME crates are still
great fun, but getting a bit long-in-the-tooth on sunos.

Can you email me that or point me to it?
