Experimental sym driver 1.5.X series:
-------------------------------------
This new driver series add support for multiple
firmwares (Set of SCSI SCRIPTS).
sym-1.5.0-20000421:
-------------------
Add support for early NCR53C8XX PCI-SCSI chips:
- NCR53C810 revision <= 15
- NCR53C815 any revision
- NCR53C825 revision <= 15
The driver contains 2 firmwares numbered #1 and #2:
- fw #1:
This is the NCR generic firmware selected by the
driver for early NCR chips (810, 815, 825). It
does not use LOAD/STORE scripts instructions but
MOVE MEMORY scripts instructions instead.
- fw #2:
LOAD/STORE based. It is the normal firmware already
used by the driver up to version 1.4.3.
Since I haven't currently early NCR53C8XX controllers
installed on my machine, I have tested fw #1 by hacking
the chip table for the 810a and the 895 to be driven
using the NCR generic set of SCSI scripts (fw #1).
Hopefully, the driver should work just fine for real
NCR 810, 815 and 825 chips.
The support for Symbios 810A, 825A, 875, 895, 896
and 1010 should not be broken since I have tried
to make actual changes in the C code and the
LOAD/STORE based scripts as minimal as possible.
