deal with cheap CD-ROMs and other devices that do not appear to have
any way to enable parity generation. In the future, it might be nice
to have this configurable on a per-device basis with back-to-back
parity errors automatically disabling parity for the device. That
would require some MI changes.
* Handle unaligned and odd-length transfers.
This could probably be handled better in the future.
but is a marked improvement. This takes advantage of a pseudo-DMA hardware
hack of Apple's that exposes a 16-bit register that the Apple-designed
memory controller acts like a DMA controller and handshakes into or out
of the FIFO. Wierd.
Unfortunately, there does not seem to be a good way to determine what
variety of comm-slot card is present in a machine. There is still an
interrupt issue preventing these cards from working--hopefully that will
be ironed out shortly.
internal ethernet on the Quadra/Centris 660av/840av.
Add initial support for the PSC (DMA controller) to support the above
(DMA SCSI remains unsupported). This involved also changing the way
that several interrupts are handled.

Since the interrupts changed somewhat, we must also make the ipls
dynamic, defaulting to their prior levels and adjusted for the AVs.
I modelled this on the hp300.
(mrz5149@cs.rit.edu) for the addresses and hints as to how the interrupts
might be disabled, and thanks to Henry Hotz (h.b.hotz@jpl.nasa.gov) for
testing on the 840AV.
Unmap the DAFB regs on the other Quadras after attachment. They're not
used.
(currently only CD-ROM drives on i386). The sys/dev/scsipi system provides 2
busses to which devices can attach (scsibus and atapibus). This needed to
change some include files and structure names in the low level scsi drivers.
(address error faults), as well as other reported problems:
- Simplify grfmv_phys() to work like grfiv_phys(), and eliminate the
second argument to both, as we don't use it anyway.
- Handle fbbase and fboff consistently throughout. Closes PR 3862.
- Eliminate grfaddr() by pulling it into grfmmap(), which is the
only place it was used, previously.
- grfmap() now gets the physical address of the framebuffer from
the appropriate driver, rather than try to compute it by itself.
Be careful with aligning the base to a page address and increase
the length of the mapped region appropriately. Closes PR 2867.
Simplify the way transmit buffers are managed, remove assumptions about
NBPG, simplify sonic_get handling, update snioctl to be more like other
current drivers, and probably a few other changes I've now forgotten about.
Change in the way receive buffer areas are handled. Before we gave
the chip 16 buffers, each 1536 bytes (big enough for one packet).
Now we're handing the chip 8 buffers, each 4 Kbytes, and letting
the chip fit as many packets as it can in each one. This should
help keep it from running out of buffer space. Also make some of
the performance-crucial routines inline. It made no measurable
difference except to make me feel better
Changes from Bob Nestor <rnestor@metronet.com> to get closer to support
for his Apple SONIC-based nubus card.
Changes from me to try to get SONIC's MAC address from MacOS settings if
we can't read the PROM space.
present and initialize a few things. No color support, yet.
- Properly disable interrupts for DAFB.
- Rearrange for better nubus display card interrupt support. Only register
an interrupt if we know how to clear it.
- Complain if we don't know about a given display card and can not install
an interrupt handler.
- Change MYSTERY stuff to cb264--still need to get the DrSW so we can
actually call the routine to clear an interrupt from this card.
tweaks and bug fixes by yours truly.
Here's what Denny had to say:
nubus.h:
- add a drsw entry for my card
[ I also added a couple of constants for more display cards ]
if_sn.c:
- allocate sc->space using malloc (Scott wanted this).
- make csr accesses use NIC_PUT/GET, remove sc->sc_csr.
- add multicast and IFF_PROMISC support. multicast isn't
well tested, but I made sure the unicast case still
works.
- finish the new arp interface, remove sc->sc_enaddr
if_snreg.h:
- remove struct sonic_reg
if_snvar.h:
- add NIC_PUT and NIC_GET macros a la if_ae
- remove sc_txhead, it isn't used.
if_sn_nubus.c:
- clean up support for my SE/30 card.
- Move add_nubus_intr from if_sn.c (to keep if_sn.c MI)
if_sn_obio.c:
- make Q610, C610, Q650, C650, Q800 use EXBUS.
- PB500 had a "return" where "break" was intended. PB500
probably wasn't working.
- move add_nubus_intr from if_sn.c.
- add an "explanation" why Apple's ethernet addr is encoded
in token ring format in the PROM.
Some of the stuff (e.g., rarpd, bootpd, dhcpd etc., libsa) still will
only support Ethernet. Tcpdump itself should be ok, but libpcap needs
lot of work.
For the detailed change history, look at the commit log entries for
the is-newarp branch.
