4 WorkBiT NinjaSCSI-3/32Bi driver for Linux
5 =========================================
10 This is Workbit corp.'s(http://www.workbit.co.jp/) NinjaSCSI-3
13 2. My Linux environment
14 =======================
16 :Linux kernel: 2.4.7 / 2.2.19
19 :PC card: I-O data PCSC-F (NinjaSCSI-3),
20 I-O data CBSC-II in 16 bit mode (NinjaSCSI-32Bi)
21 :SCSI device: I-O data CDPS-PX24 (CD-ROM drive),
22 Media Intelligent MMO-640GT (Optical disk drive)
27 (a) Check your PC card is true "NinjaSCSI-3" card.
29 If you installed pcmcia-cs already, pcmcia reports your card as UNKNOWN
30 card, and write ["WBT", "NinjaSCSI-3", "R1.0"] or some other string to
31 your console or log file.
33 You can also use "cardctl" program (this program is in pcmcia-cs source
34 code) to get more info.
38 # cat /var/log/messages
40 Jan 2 03:45:06 lindberg cardmgr[78]: unsupported card in socket 1
41 Jan 2 03:45:06 lindberg cardmgr[78]: product info: "WBT", "NinjaSCSI-3", "R1.0"
45 no product info available
47 product info: "IO DATA", "CBSC16 ", "1"
50 (b) Get the Linux kernel source, and extract it to /usr/src.
51 Because the NinjaSCSI driver requires some SCSI header files in Linux
52 kernel source, I recommend rebuilding your kernel; this eliminates
53 some versioning problems.
58 $ tar -zxvf linux-x.x.x.tar.gz
63 (c) If you use this driver with Kernel 2.2, unpack pcmcia-cs in some directory
64 and make & install. This driver requires the pcmcia-cs header file.
69 $ tar zxvf cs-pcmcia-cs-3.x.x.tar.gz
72 (d) Extract this driver's archive somewhere, and edit Makefile, then do make::
74 $ tar -zxvf nsp_cs-x.x.tar.gz
80 (e) Copy nsp_cs.ko to suitable place, like /lib/modules/<Kernel version>/pcmcia/ .
82 (f) Add these lines to /etc/pcmcia/config .
84 If you use pcmcia-cs-3.1.8 or later, we can use "nsp_cs.conf" file.
85 So, you don't need to edit file. Just copy to /etc/pcmcia/ .
90 class "scsi" module "nsp_cs"
92 card "WorkBit NinjaSCSI-3"
93 version "WBT", "NinjaSCSI-3", "R1.0"
96 card "WorkBit NinjaSCSI-32Bi (16bit)"
97 version "WORKBIT", "UltraNinja-16", "1"
101 card "WorkBit NinjaSCSI-32Bi (16bit) / IO-DATA"
102 version "IO DATA", "CBSC16 ", "1"
106 card "WorkBit NinjaSCSI-32Bi (16bit) / KME-1"
107 version "KME ", "SCSI-CARD-001", "1"
109 card "WorkBit NinjaSCSI-32Bi (16bit) / KME-2"
110 version "KME ", "SCSI-CARD-002", "1"
112 card "WorkBit NinjaSCSI-32Bi (16bit) / KME-3"
113 version "KME ", "SCSI-CARD-003", "1"
115 card "WorkBit NinjaSCSI-32Bi (16bit) / KME-4"
116 version "KME ", "SCSI-CARD-004", "1"
119 (f) Start (or restart) pcmcia-cs::
121 # /etc/rc.d/rc.pcmcia start (BSD style)
125 # /etc/init.d/pcmcia start (SYSV style)
136 If you eject card when doing some operation for your SCSI device or suspend
137 your computer, you encount some *BAD* error like disk crash.
139 It works good when I using this driver right way. But I'm not guarantee
140 your data. Please backup your data when you use this driver.
145 In 2.4 kernel, you can't use 640MB Optical disk. This error comes from
146 high level SCSI driver.
151 Please send me some reports(bug reports etc..) of this software.
152 When you send report, please tell me these or more.
156 - your SCSI device name(hard drive, CD-ROM, etc...)
