.. SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 ========================================= WorkBiT NinjaSCSI-3/32Bi driver for Linux ========================================= 1. Comment ========== This is Workbit corp.'s(http://www.workbit.co.jp/) NinjaSCSI-3 for Linux. 2. My Linux environment ======================= :Linux kernel: 2.4.7 / 2.2.19 :pcmcia-cs: 3.1.27 :gcc: gcc-2.95.4 :PC card: I-O data PCSC-F (NinjaSCSI-3), I-O data CBSC-II in 16 bit mode (NinjaSCSI-32Bi) :SCSI device: I-O data CDPS-PX24 (CD-ROM drive), Media Intelligent MMO-640GT (Optical disk drive) 3. Install ========== (a) Check your PC card is true "NinjaSCSI-3" card. If you installed pcmcia-cs already, pcmcia reports your card as UNKNOWN card, and write ["WBT", "NinjaSCSI-3", "R1.0"] or some other string to your console or log file. You can also use "cardctl" program (this program is in pcmcia-cs source code) to get more info. :: # cat /var/log/messages ... Jan 2 03:45:06 lindberg cardmgr[78]: unsupported card in socket 1 Jan 2 03:45:06 lindberg cardmgr[78]: product info: "WBT", "NinjaSCSI-3", "R1.0" ... # cardctl ident Socket 0: no product info available Socket 1: product info: "IO DATA", "CBSC16 ", "1" (b) Get the Linux kernel source, and extract it to /usr/src. Because the NinjaSCSI driver requires some SCSI header files in Linux kernel source, I recommend rebuilding your kernel; this eliminates some versioning problems. :: $ cd /usr/src $ tar -zxvf linux-x.x.x.tar.gz $ cd linux $ make config ... (c) If you use this driver with Kernel 2.2, unpack pcmcia-cs in some directory and make & install. This driver requires the pcmcia-cs header file. :: $ cd /usr/src $ tar zxvf cs-pcmcia-cs-3.x.x.tar.gz ... (d) Extract this driver's archive somewhere, and edit Makefile, then do make:: $ tar -zxvf nsp_cs-x.x.tar.gz $ cd nsp_cs-x.x $ emacs Makefile ... $ make (e) Copy nsp_cs.ko to suitable place, like /lib/modules/<Kernel version>/pcmcia/ . (f) Add these lines to /etc/pcmcia/config . If you use pcmcia-cs-3.1.8 or later, we can use "nsp_cs.conf" file. So, you don't need to edit file. Just copy to /etc/pcmcia/ . :: device "nsp_cs" class "scsi" module "nsp_cs" card "WorkBit NinjaSCSI-3" version "WBT", "NinjaSCSI-3", "R1.0" bind "nsp_cs" card "WorkBit NinjaSCSI-32Bi (16bit)" version "WORKBIT", "UltraNinja-16", "1" bind "nsp_cs" # OEM card "WorkBit NinjaSCSI-32Bi (16bit) / IO-DATA" version "IO DATA", "CBSC16 ", "1" bind "nsp_cs" # OEM card "WorkBit NinjaSCSI-32Bi (16bit) / KME-1" version "KME ", "SCSI-CARD-001", "1" bind "nsp_cs" card "WorkBit NinjaSCSI-32Bi (16bit) / KME-2" version "KME ", "SCSI-CARD-002", "1" bind "nsp_cs" card "WorkBit NinjaSCSI-32Bi (16bit) / KME-3" version "KME ", "SCSI-CARD-003", "1" bind "nsp_cs" card "WorkBit NinjaSCSI-32Bi (16bit) / KME-4" version "KME ", "SCSI-CARD-004", "1" bind "nsp_cs" (f) Start (or restart) pcmcia-cs:: # /etc/rc.d/rc.pcmcia start (BSD style) or:: # /etc/init.d/pcmcia start (SYSV style) 4. History ========== See README.nin_cs . 5. Caution ========== If you eject card when doing some operation for your SCSI device or suspend your computer, you encount some *BAD* error like disk crash. It works good when I using this driver right way. But I'm not guarantee your data. Please backup your data when you use this driver. 6. Known Bugs ============= In 2.4 kernel, you can't use 640MB Optical disk. This error comes from high level SCSI driver. 7. Testing ========== Please send me some reports(bug reports etc..) of this software. When you send report, please tell me these or more. - card name - kernel version - your SCSI device name(hard drive, CD-ROM, etc...) 8.
