ncrBsd2Linux-1.12a-src.tar.gz is available at:
- sunsite.unc.edu /pub/Linux/Incoming
Description: FreeBSD NCR53C8XX SCSI driver adapted to Linux Fast, Wide, Tagged Queue, Parity support
Primary-site: tsx-11.mit.edu /pub/linux/ALPHA/scsi
Alternate-site: sunsite.unc.edu /pub/Linux/kernel/patches/scsi
What's new?
1 - New control command "clearprof": clear profile counters. 2 - 32 bit / 64 bit data checked. 3 - Some tests done with Linux/Alpha. Thanks to Harald Koenig and Matthew Geier. 4 - New email address of the maintainer: groudier@club-internet.fr 5 - Tested under linux-2.0.1 6 - Misc. changes: - Use of jiffies for time calculations (rather than xtime) - Async message 1-3-1-ff-0 changed to 1-3-1-0-0: avoid unexpected disconnection from some CD/ROM devices. - Etc..
What's unchanged?
1 - This driver is not a part of the official kernel distribution. 2 - I always enjoy with Linux and I am not going to switch to another operating system.
What'll change?
If you intend to try this driver under Linux/Alpha, just have to known that: 1 - Last week, the driver seemed to work on Harald's and Matthew's configurations. Since these tests, I have made some changes in the source that have not yet been tested under Linux/Alpha. 2 - Harald has reported to me that memory mapped IO does not work under Linux/Alpha. So force NORMAL IO at "make config" step for linux-2.0.X.
Gerard.
