This is the user documentation for my SCSI package.
|
||||
|
||||
As is, the SCSI package works with seagate ST-02 and ST-01 host adapters. Also,
|
||||
the boot image is "hard wired" to an address of C8000h, as different revisions have
|
||||
different signatures, and version 2.00 is the only one I look for right now (my other
|
||||
ST-02 is version 3.00, but that one is fried and hanging on the wall with other
|
||||
dead computer junk - so it's sort of .... inaccessable for these purposes).
|
||||
|
||||
Note that adding another host adapter to the list of those supported represents a
|
||||
minimal amount of code. Consult the "real" docs if you're interested.
|
||||
|
||||
SCSI disks are scanned for from ID 0 to ID 7, excluding the host adapter ID (typically 7).
|
||||
They are assigned to disk 0, 1, 2, etc in the order they are found.
|
||||
|
||||
SCSI disks use major number 8, 16 minor numbers per drive, so the first hard disk
|
||||
on your system will be 8,0, partition one on that 8,1, second drive 8,16, etc.
|
||||
This is to accomodate a future sub partitioning scheme.
|
||||
|
||||
These devices may be made with mknod /dev/sdX 8 X, where X is the minor number, as
|
||||
specified above.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that the scsi disks will coexist with "normal" drives in the same system -
|
||||
IDE, MFM, whatever.
|
||||
|
||||
Files you might want :
|
||||
scsi.shar.Z - shell archive of the sources and some diffs. Note that makefile diffs,
|
||||
main.c diff (one call) are not there - but it basically just drops in
|
||||
to .12.
|
||||
|
||||
fdisk.scsi.tar.Z : patched fdisk that also deals with SCSI drives.
|
||||
|
||||
bootimage-0.12.seagate.Z - bootable image for seagate ST-0x SCSI hosts at address C8000.
