There are two basic variants, one using the AMD chip (not > supported) and one that uses an NCR part (supported fine). The current incarnations of that card are DC-390, SCSI-2 which uses the AMD 53c974A chip, and the DC-390U Ultra SCSI and DC-390F Ultra-Wide SCSI which use the NCR 875. If the AMD chip is no longer supported may I suggest that the following be removed from LINT. Or if only the `A' version of the chip is not supported that that be made clearer. ----- # $Id: LINT,v 1.502 1998/11/08 09:57:28 peter Exp $ [snip] # The `amd' device provides support for the Tekram DC-390 and 390T # SCSI host adapters, but is expected to work with any AMD 53c974 # PCI SCSI chip and the AMD Ethernet+SCSI Combo chip, after some # local patches were applied to the sources (that had originally # been written by Tekram and limited to work with their SCSI cards). ----- and ---- amd0 n/a n/a n/a n/a Tekram DC-390(T) / AMD 53c974 PCI SCSI ---- be removed from, or clarified in, HARDWARE.TXT, dated Oct. 16, 1998. I'm being particularly cautious because the DC-800B, a 1542 compatible card with caching that has worked well with 2.x, will not work with the current aha.c. And it isn't the timing problem that was reported. A liberal dose of printf(3)s in aha.c shows that that dog just ain't gonna hunt. :( -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jack O'Neill Systems Administrator / Systems Analyst jack@germanium.xtalwind.net Crystal Wind Communications, Inc.
