In - recent kernels, it has failed to function at all when - compiled for SMP. I've fixed that problem, and after - taking a fresh look at interrupts in general, greatly - reduced the number of places where they're fiddled - with. Done some heavy testing and it looks very good. - The driver now makes use of the __initfunc() and - __initdata macros to save about 4k of kernel memory. - Once again, the same code works for both 2.0.xx and - 2.1.xx kernels. - -UPDATE NEWS: version 1.32 - 28 Mar 98 - - Removed the check for legal IN2000 hardware versions: - It appears that the driver works fine with serial - EPROMs (the 8-pin chip that defines hardware rev) as - old as 2.1, so we'll assume that all cards are OK. - -UPDATE NEWS: version 1.31 - 6 Jul 97 - - Fixed a bug that caused incorrect SCSI status bytes to be - returned from commands sent to LUNs greater than 0. This - means that CDROM changers work now! Fixed a bug in the - handling of command-line arguments when loaded as a module. - Also put all the header data in in2000.h where it belongs. - There are no longer any differences between this driver in - the 2.1.xx source tree and the 2.0.xx tree, as of 2.0.31 - and 2.1.45 (or is it .46?) - this makes things much easier - for me... - -UPDATE NEWS: version 1.30 - 14 Oct 96 - - Fixed a bug in the code that sets the transfer direction - bit (DESTID_DPD in the WD_DESTINATION_ID register). There - are quite a few SCSI commands that do a write-to-device; - now we deal with all of them correctly. Thanks to Joerg - Dorchain for catching this one. - -UPDATE NEWS: version 1.29 - 24 Sep 96 - - The memory-mapped hardware on the card is now accessed via - the 'readb()' and 'readl()' macros - required by the new - memory management scheme in the 2.1.x kernel series. - As suggested by Andries Brouwer, 'bios_param()' no longer - forces an artificial 1023 track limit on drives. Also - removed some kludge-code left over from struggles with - older (buggy) compilers. - -UPDATE NEWS: version 1.28 - 07 May 96 - - Tightened up the "interrupts enabled/disabled" discipline - in 'in2000_queuecommand()' and maybe 1 or 2 other places. - I _think_ it may have been a little too lax, causing an - occasional crash during full moon. A fully functional - /proc interface is now in place - if you want to play - with it, start by doing 'cat /proc/scsi/in2000/0'. You - can also use it to change a few run-time parameters on - the fly, but it's mostly for debugging. The curious - should take a good look at 'in2000_proc_info()' in the - in2000.c file to get an understanding of what it's all - about; I figure that people who are really into it will - want to add features suited to their own needs... - Also, sync is now DISABLED by default. - -UPDATE NEWS: version 1.27 - 10 Apr 96 - - Fixed a well-hidden bug in the adaptive-disconnect code - that would show up every now and then during extreme - heavy loads involving 2 or more simultaneously active - devices. Thanks to Joe Mack for keeping my nose to the - grindstone on this one. - -UPDATE NEWS: version 1.26 - 07 Mar 96 - - 1.25 had a nasty bug that bit people with swap partitions - and tape drives. Also, in my attempt to guess my way - through Intel assembly language, I made an error in the - inline code for IO writes. Made a few other changes and - repairs - this version (fingers crossed) should work well. - -UPDATE NEWS: version 1.25 - 05 Mar 96 - - Kernel 1.3.70 interrupt mods added; old kernels still OK. - Big help from Bill Earnest and David Willmore on speed - testing and optimizing: I think there's a real improvement - in this area. - New! User-friendly command-line interface for LILO and - module loading - the old method is gone, so you'll need - to read the comments for 'setup_strings' near the top - of in2000.c. For people with CDROM's or other devices - that have a tough time with sync negotiation, you can - now selectively disable sync on individual devices - - search for the 'nosync' keyword in the command-line - comments. Some of you disable the BIOS on the card, which - caused the auto-detect function to fail; there is now a - command-line option to force detection of a ROM-less card. - -UPDATE NEWS: version 1.24a - 24 Feb 96 - - There was a bug in the synchronous transfer code. Only - a few people downloaded before I caught it - could have - been worse. - -UPDATE NEWS: version 1.24 - 23 Feb 96 - - Lots of good changes. Advice from Bill Earnest resulted - in much better detection of cards, more efficient usage - of the fifo, and (hopefully) faster data transfers. The - jury is still out on speed - I hope it's improved some. - One nifty new feature is a cool way of doing disconnect/ - reselect. The driver defaults to what I'm calling - 'adaptive disconnect' - meaning that each command is - evaluated individually as to whether or not it should be - run with the option to disconnect/reselect (if the device - chooses), or as a "SCSI-bus-hog". When several devices - are operating simultaneously, disconnects are usually an - advantage. In a single device system, or if only 1 device - is being accessed, transfers usually go faster if disconnects - are not allowed. - - - -The default arguments (you get these when you don't give an 'in2000' -command-line argument, or you give a blank argument) will cause -the driver to do adaptive disconnect, synchronous transfers, and a -minimum of debug messages. If you want to fool with the options, -search for 'setup_strings' near the top of the in2000.c file and -check the 'hostdata->args' section in in2000.h - but be warned! Not -everything is working yet (some things will never work, probably). -I believe that disabling disconnects (DIS_NEVER) will allow you -to choose a LEVEL2 value higher than 'L2_BASIC', but I haven't -spent a lot of time testing this. You might try 'ENABLE_CLUSTERING' -to see what happens: my tests showed little difference either way. -There's also a define called 'DEFAULT_SX_PER'; this sets the data -transfer speed for the asynchronous mode. I've put it at 500 ns -despite the fact that the card could handle settings of 376 or -252, because higher speeds may be a problem with poor quality -cables or improper termination; 500 ns is a compromise. You can -choose your own default through the command-line with the -'period' keyword. - - ------------------------------------------------- -*********** DIP switch settings ************** ------------------------------------------------- - - sw1-1 sw1-2 BIOS address (hex) - ----------------------------------------- - off off C8000 - CBFF0 - on off D8000 - DBFF0 - off on D0000 - D3FF0 - on on BIOS disabled - - sw1-3 sw1-4 IO port address (hex) - ------------------------------------ - off off 220 - 22F - on off 200 - 20F - off on 110 - 11F - on on 100 - 10F - - sw1-5 sw1-6 sw1-7 Interrupt - ------------------------------ - off off off 15 - off on off 14 - off off on 11 - off on on 10 - on - - disabled - - sw1-8 function depends on BIOS version.
