Reimplemented + * IDEFLOPPY_CAPABILITIES_PAGE, since we need the srfp + * bit. My LS-120 drive barfs on + * IDEFLOPPY_CAPABILITIES_PAGE, but maybe it's just me. + * Compromise by not reporting a failure to get this + * mode page. Implemented four IOCTLs in order to + * implement formatting. IOCTls begin with 0x4600, + * 0x46 is 'F' as in Format. + * Jan 9 01 Userland option to select format verify. + * Added PC_SUPPRESS_ERROR flag - some idefloppy drives + * do not implement IDEFLOPPY_CAPABILITIES_PAGE, and + * return a sense error. Suppress error reporting in + * this particular case in order to avoid spurious + * errors in syslog. The culprit is + * idefloppy_get_capability_page(), so move it to + * idefloppy_begin_format() so that it's not used + * unless absolutely necessary. + * If drive does not support format progress indication + * monitor the dsc bit in the status register. + * Also, O_NDELAY on open will allow the device to be + * opened without a disk available. This can be used to + * open an unformatted disk, or get the device capacity. + * Ver 0.91 Dec 11 99 Added IOMEGA Clik! drive support by + * <paul@paulbristow.net> + * Ver 0.92 Oct 22 00 Paul Bristow became official maintainer for this + * driver. Included Powerbook internal zip kludge. + * Ver 0.93 Oct 24 00 Fixed bugs for Clik! drive + * no disk on insert and disk change now works + * Ver 0.94 Oct 27 00 Tidied up to remove strstr(Clik) everywhere + * Ver 0.95 Nov 7 00 Brought across to kernel 2.4 + * Ver 0.96 Jan 7 01 Actually in line with release version of 2.4.0 + * including set_bit patch from Rusty Russell + * Ver 0.97 Jul 22 01 Merge 0.91-0.96 onto 0.9.sv for ac series + * Ver 0.97.sv Aug 3 01 Backported from 2.4.7-ac3 + * Ver 0.98 Oct 26 01 Split idefloppy_transfer_pc into two pieces to + * fix a lost interrupt problem. It appears the busy + * bit was being deasserted by my IOMEGA ATAPI ZIP 100 + * drive before the drive was actually ready. + * Ver 0.98a Oct 29 01 Expose delay value so we can play. + * Ver 0.99 Feb 24 02 Remove duplicate code, modify clik! detection code + * to support new PocketZip drives + */ |
