We are completely off topic, but I want to share this:
Code for a SCSI driver for early Macintosh computers, written in 1985:
https://github.com/SuperSVGA/MacSCSI/tree/main
Unfortunately, the full code is not present, only parts of it.

AI has done what they usually do when they don't know what they're talking about, which is to give you an attractive-looking lie.

I'm intrigued by the potential to train some AI thing by feeding it valid Lisa documents and known-working code. Much easier done by those who (think they) control the AI, but I think the possibility is there for those of us on the outside to influence its learning.

I tried to get Chat-GPT to help me with some 6504 code for BLU; after I managed to correct some misunderstanding it had about the 6504, it could make an improvement, but it would soon revert to its misunderstanding when I tried to get back to the original objective. So as far as I'm concerned, it wasn't ready to learn something new, but I can see how a Chat-GPT expert could make much better progress than I.

Code for a SCSI driver ... the full code is not present, only parts of it.

The LSAC (and the QuickBoot derivative) has basic bare-metal SCSI functionality for the Lisa SCSI. I hope to open-source the code at some point, but am currently dealing with another's effort to "open-source" another piece of my work before I'm ready to do so, which isn't encouraging for the time-line.

Regardless, I may be happy to help someone else if they take on the LOS SCSI driver project.
