It is my understanding that support for the aic0 driver under 3.3 was recently placed into the 3-STABLE branch at the end of October / beginning of November. The outlying issue was that the driver was not camified...that is, 3.x uses camcontrol for the SCSI device drivers and the aic0 driver was not converted yet--until just recently. There is a big push in the mobile community for the aic0 driver because this allows laptop users have support again for their SCSI devices. Mainly, users who have the Adaptec 1460 PC Card. While I do not have a 1520 SCSI card, I do have a 1460 PC Card. The aic0 driver will compile, but I have not yet been able to get the pccardd daemon to work yet. Finally, you can get the aic0 code by CVSing to 3-STABLE. I personally use the cvsup program on the workstations (via ethernet) as well as on my IBM laptop (via ppp) to get the current stable code of the 3.x branch. >>> John 11/15/99 10:09AM >>> Hi steve, > I hope this is the correct place for a question of this nature.

I took a look at my LINT file (for 3.3), and it shows: # aic: Adaptec 152x controller aic0 at isa? port ? cam irq ? I believe this might be slightly different for 3.2, so you might want to look at your own LINT file (/sys/i386/conf/LINT). Also, is your CDROM the only device on that SCSI card? Or is are there other devices as well? And if there are, are they working correctly? --John To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org=20 with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
