Both models tested and seem to be quite stable and fast.
Thanks to:
- Hans Hubner <hans@Huebner.org> for giving me the cards for testing
- Georg Klug of Syskonnect, who provided me with hw docs for these cards,
very promptly and willingly - I wish all vendors would be like this
- Alfred Arnold, Linux SKNET driver author, for giving me valuable Syskonnect
contact :)
Tested with NE/2 card provided to me by Hans Hubner <hans@Huebner.ORG>.
The Compex and Arco cards were not tested. According to Linux ne2 driver,
they should work same way as NE/2.
Disk & Controller only at the moment.
This driver still needs some touchup (error recovery is not quite
good, MCA DMA controller goo should be moved to driver independant
location), but is working enough to be usable for others. And I
want this under CVS control :)
Thanks to Scott Telford <st@epcc.ed.ac.uk> for providing me docs for
these devices (IBM DASD Storage Interface Specification for MCA rev. 2.2).
This work is based on code written by Scott D. Telford, the IBM
Token Ring card attachment was written by Gregory McGarry.
XXX this is still very experimental and development version; use at your
