Hello,
I've ruled out everything I could think of on this problem, and what's
left points to a question about the ncr driver for -hackers.
I'm trying to get FreeBSD 2.2.2-RELEASE to recognize a Diamond FirePort40
SCSI adapter, which uses the NCR 53c875j chip. A borrowed Asus PCI-SC875
is recognized correctly on the same system (53c875 chip, no j). I looked
through the ncr code and found the identification numbers for different
chip numbers, but didn't see anything about the 875j or even different
revisions of other chips.
Can anyone tell me if this should already work (I got a bad card, or a
messed up BIOS), or explain where to start to add support? According to
Symbios' web site, the j suffix means it "supports JTAG boundary scan for
onboard testing." I assume that if the current driver were to recognize
it, it would act like a plain 875, which would be good enough for me.
I've double checked all the BIOS settings, moved cards around, and removed
everything except the PCI video card (Graphics Blaster, CL5462 chip). The
motherboard is a HOT-433, with 486 PCI/ISA BIOS from AMI (copyright 1993),
and UMC 8881/8886 chipset. The only thing I have not done is install
Win95 to verify that the card works with its own drivers.
A possibly related problem is that having both SCSI cards installed at
once, or the Asus with a PCI NIC (ed2, RealTek 8029) causes the boot to
hang after the imasks line. The next thing should have been the BIOS
disk geometries. FWIW, the geometry of the SCSI disk is correct for
either controller.
Thanks for any help--
