Comment +========== + +This is Workbit corp.'s(http://www.workbit.co.jp/) NinjaSCSI-3 +for Linux. + +2.

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.

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.
