Date: Sun, 7 Jan 1996 21:19:55 +0200 From: Lars Wirzenius <wirzeniu@cc.helsinki.fi> To: linux-announce@vger.rutgers.edu From: kevinl@fangorn.cs.monash.edu.au (Kevin Lentin) Subject: WANTED: Looking for NCR53c400 SCSI boards Organization: Monash University Newsgroups: comp.os.linux.announce Approved: linux-announce@news.ornl.gov (Lars Wirzenius) Followup-to: comp.os.linux.development.system -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- I would like to hear from people who have memory mapped NCR53c400 SCSI cards. Cards like the Trantor T130B use port mapped I/O and are supported using the NCR53c400 extensions to the Generic NCR5380 driver in the Linux kernel. Memory mapped cards are not. Other memory mapped 5380 based boards like the T128 are separately supported. I would like to finish off the 53c400 work I started. This requires a little bit of moving around and the finishing off of some features Drew Ekhardt and I planned but most importantly, it requires support for memory mapped 53c400 based boards. I do not have such a card. So I need somebody else to send me some info about it. Anything will do right now. Examples of makes and model numbers of such cards will be nice too. When I'm done, the Generic NCR5380 driver will have several options in the configuration. I already have an option to activate the 53c400 extensions and skeleton options for port and memory mapped I/O. When done, you will be able to compile those options you need. Generic kernel builders will be able to build the driver so that it can handle 5380's, and 53c400's in both memory mapped and i/o mapped modes. In fact, some changes Drew made make it possible for the one driver to support all those types of cards at the same time without needing to duplicate object code in the kernel. Two different cards could be in the same machine using the same driver. But I need the memory mapped I/O info first. Addresses, etc. The more the merrier. - -- [=======================================================================] [ Kevin Lentin | The Mighty Carlton Blues | ] [ K.Lentin@cs.monash.edu.au | 1995 AFL Premiers | ] [ Macintrash: 'Just say NO!' |CARLTON 21-15-141 d geelong 11-14-80| ] [=======================================================================] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2i iQCVAwUBMPAaVoQRll5MupLRAQHNSQP9GuSxge+8XlbLPzVIzdwP3R0aKnQBgqYK 7BRbe0ehFXbs54d3OD6Kq167ctWONjpTSu3bnKVxo46bWKbpCw65mGwEbbMEmJxO +Ndc7vxksajJ3M5rTCzu6L0mZ/8TuJE2rLGyh2SEzYTK6ktRcY+ROKw6gcHVc/WZ FiI4SB59uCU= =cjZ+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- This article has been digitally signed by the moderator, using PGP.
