SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 ================== dc395x SCSI driver ================== Status ------ The driver has been tested with CD-R and CD-R/W drives. These should be safe to use. Testing with hard disks has not been done to any great degree and caution should be exercised if you want to attempt to use this driver with hard disks. This driver is evolved from `the original 2.4 driver <https://web.archive.org/web/20140129181343/http://www.garloff.de/kurt/linux/dc395/>`_. Problems, questions and patches should be submitted to the `Linux SCSI mailing list <linux-scsi@vger.kernel.org>`_. Parameters ---------- The driver uses the settings from the EEPROM set in the SCSI BIOS setup. If there is no EEPROM, the driver uses default values. Both can be overridden by command line parameters (module or kernel parameters). The following parameters are available: safe Default: 0, Acceptable values: 0 or 1 If safe is set to 1 then the adapter will use conservative ("safe") default settings. This sets: shortcut for dc395x=7,4,9,15,2,10 adapter_id Default: 7, Acceptable values: 0 to 15 Sets the host adapter SCSI ID. max_speed Default: 1, Acceptable value: 0 to 7 == ======== 0 20 Mhz 1 12.2 Mhz 2 10 Mhz 3 8 Mhz 4 6.7 Mhz 5 5.8 Hhz 6 5 Mhz 7 4 Mhz == ======== dev_mode Bitmap for device configuration DevMode bit definition: === ======== ======== ========================================= Bit Val(hex) Val(dec) Meaning === ======== ======== ========================================= 0 0x01 1 Parity check 1 0x02 2 Synchronous Negotiation 2 0x04 4 Disconnection 3 0x08 8 Send Start command on startup.

(eg "dc395x.safe=1") Copyright --------- The driver is free software. It is protected by the GNU General Public License (GPL). Please read it, before using this driver. It should be included in your kernel sources and with your distribution. It carries the filename COPYING. If you don't have it, please ask me to send you one by email. Note: The GNU GPL says also something about warranty and liability. Please be aware the following: While we do my best to provide a working and reliable driver, there is a chance, that it will kill your valuable data. We refuse to take any responsibility for that.
