Hi,
After some time of abstinence, I followed up the kernel development again
recently. I was happy to see, that the Tekram DC390 SCSI driver, which I
spent some work on, finally went into the official kernel. (I doubted that
this will ever happen.)
I just wonder why it's version 1.10 that is in Linux-2.1.5x and in the
prepatch (#9) for 2.0.31. Version 1.11 is the recent one and is out since
05-Feb-97 (and works for many people)! I also wonder, why it's just the
DC390 (Am53c974) driver that made it into the kernel and not the
DC390W/U/F (Ncr53C8X5, X=2/7). I always packaged these two together into
a kernel patch. It can be found at
ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/Linux/kernel/dc390/
As of the 2.1-kernel, the DC390W/U/F driver is no longer necessary. The
NCR53C8XX driver as of version 2.5X detects the Tekram NVRam and works
fine with it. The NCR53C8XX driver version 2.3X, included in the
pre-2.0.31 patch, doesn't.
So, here's what I propose:
1. For Linux-2.1 we update the DC390 driver to the current 1.11 version.
(dc390-1.10-1.11.diff)
We fix the Configure.help file to tell people to use the NCR53C8XX
driver for DC390W/U/F (and not DC390W/U/F driver which is not
included). (dc390wuf.help.diff)
2. For Linux-2.0.31 we do either of those: Include both drivers in their
recent version (ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/linux/kernel/dc390/dc390-1.11.gz)
OR we update the ncr53c8xx driver to version 2.5 and do the same like
for 2.1 kernels.
