Hello,
I want to awake an old Compaq ProSignia box with SCSI on board.
I havn't any documentation, but looking at the board I've found
two ships which have the following inscriptions:
1. Chip: NCR53C710
2. Chip: NCR-0390784
So I assume that it is a NCR53C7xx controler.
The kernel menuconfig online help says:
CONFIG_SCSI_SIM710:
This is a driver for the NCR53C710 chip commonly found in Compaq and
NCR machines.
In contrast to this I found the following in the Hardware-HOWTO:
Linux Hardware Compatibility HOWTO
Patrick Reijnen, <antispam.hardware_howto@antispam.reij
nen.nl.com (remove both "antispam.")>
v99.3, 28 September 1999
...
9.3. Unsupported
...
· NCR chip 53C710 (ISA) (old obsolete chip, but still used in some
Compaq models)
Now I wonder if I had a chance with this box and what I have to do to get
it working.
Could you give me any hint?
I've read the steps to do when detecting such kind of bug in the
SCSI-HOWTO dated from 30 August 1996 and found under the "unsupported"
HOWTOs. Is this information valid yet and would it be my last chance?
Thanks in advance and kind regards
Andreas.
