Hello,
I have Intel Professional Workstation with LP468 motherboard which has everything else except PCI. There is integrated SCSI controller NCR 53c700-66 50pin which is probably on MCA(or EISA bus). Problem is that I can't make it work. I tried NCR 53c7xx, 8xx support(naturally), but no way. I tried all other drivers, but no success. Googling around was also unsuccessful. Everything points on that it should work, but it does not.
# quote from Intel Professional Workstation documentation 1. NCR 53C700 SCSI I/O Processor (SIOP) The on-board SCSI I/O processor is a NCR 53C700. This component has internal FIFOs on the SCSI and host data busses, 32-bit address and data busses, and an internal SCRIPTS processor capable of fast DMA. A custom ASIC is used to convert the 386-like bus interface of the NCR 53C700 to the asynchronous strobed interface required by the 82359 DRAM Controller. The SIOP runs at 33 MHz, the maximum theoretical data transfer rate is 66 MBytes/sec across the Buffered Bus, and 8.25 MBytes/sec across the SCSI bus. # end of quote
Do you have any ideas how to make this SCSI controller to work?
Thank you very much for your replies.
