It=20 does not use LOAD/STORE scripts instructions but=20 MOVE MEMORY scripts instructions instead. - fw #2: LOAD/STORE based. It is the normal firmware already=20 used by the driver up to version 1.4.3. =20 Since I haven't currently early NCR53C8XX controllers=20 installed on my machine, I have tested fw #1 by hacking=20 the chip table for the 810a and the 895 to be driven=20 using the NCR generic set of SCSI scripts (fw #1). Hopefully, the driver should work just fine for real=20 NCR 810, 815 and 825 chips. The support for Symbios 810A, 825A, 875, 895, 896=20 and 1010 should not be broken since I have tried=20 to make actual changes in the C code and the=20 LOAD/STORE based scripts as minimal as possible. ftp://ftp.tux.org/pub/roudier/drivers/freebsd/experimental/sym-1.5.0-200004= 21.readme ftp://ftp.tux.org/pub/roudier/drivers/freebsd/experimental/sym-1.5.0-200004= 21.tar.gz (Module typos :) ) G=E9rard.=20 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
