I asked Iwill about the SEEPROM type on the PIILS motherboard. They
answered that the PIILS has a serial EEPROM, and that it's a 93c56.
As Daniel Eischen suggested, I "forced" this SEEPROM type in
pci/aic7870.c and... bingo!!! Now the SEEPROM is correctly read:
ahc0 <Adaptec aic7880 Ultra SCSI host adapter> rev 0 int a irq 9 on pci0:20:0
mapreg[10] type=1 addr=00006400 size=0100.
mapreg[14] type=0 addr=f0000000 size=1000.
reg20: virtual=0xf50e6000 physical=0xf0000000 size=0x1000
ahc0: Reading SEEPROM...done.
low byte termination enabled, high byte termination enabled
ahc0: aic7880 Wide Channel, SCSI Id=7, 16/255 SCBs
ahc0: Resetting Channel A
ahc0: Downloading Sequencer Program...ahc0: 416 instructions downloaded
Done
ahc0: Probing channel A
ahc0 waiting for scsi devices to settle
ahc0: target 0 using 16Bit transfers
ahc0: target 0 synchronous at 20.0MHz, offset = 0x8
ahc0: target 0 Tagged Queuing Device
It works!! And the Ultra SCSI speed is now enabled. Thank you very much!!!
Now, should I open a PR about this problem? I think that pci/aic7870.c
could be patched. I don't know if CAM has this problem with the
SEEPROM type.
