[N1] Linux SCSI reflector: < linux-scsi@vger.kernel.org >. This is a relatively low volume (circa 200 postings per month) Linux SCSI specific group that many of the SCSI subsystem maintainers monitor.

[N2] Linux kernel reflector: < linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org >. This is a relatively high volume (circa 5000 postings per month) group for all aspects of the Linux kernel. The Linux SCSI reflector should be tried first.

[B1] "Linux Device Drivers" by A. Rubini [O'Reilly 1998 ISBN 1-56592-292-1] This is a solid text on Linux device drivers including some information on the SCSI subsystem. It covers the block subsystem well and has many char device driver examples. It was written during the Linux 2.1 kernel development series and is most relevant to the Linux 2.0 and 2.2 series. There are rumours that a new edition may soon emerge.

[B2] "Running Linux" 3rd edition by M. Welsh, M. K. Dalheimer & L. Kaufman [O'Reilly 1999 ISBN 1-56592-469-X] This is a classic Linux tome which includes some SCSI configuration info.

[B3] "The Programmer's Guide to SCSI" by Brian Sawert [Addison Wesley 1998 ISBN 0-201-18538-5] This book covers many SCSI topics, including the pass through mechanisms of Linux (sg) and ASPI/ASPI32 as used by Windows.
