Question Cannot install SCSI card supplied with HP m820e 

Forum: PCMCIA SCSI Host Adapter Issues
Re: Question Problem with configure HP 820 Rewriter (Antonio Trujillo Carmona)

From: Stefan Sitter <Stefan.Sitter@lrz.uni-muenchen.de> 

I'm also trying to get the HP m820e up (with the SCSI card
supplied by HP), but I fail totally.
I'm still using kernel 2.0.36, pcmcia version 2.9.6.
Was anybody more successful? Is my problem related to
my old (but otherwise stable) installation? Should I upgrade?

/var/log/messages says:
....      cardmgr{70]: unsupported card in socket 0
....      cardmgr[70]: version info: "KME    ", "SCSI-CARD-001", "1"
....      cardmgr[70]: manfid: 0x0032, 0x2604


Thank you for your attention.

I forgot to mention what the PCMCIA card looks like:

- A switch "CardBus/16 bit"

- Text: "Hewlett Packard, CD-RW PC Card".

None Not a supported card

This card is not supported.  I have no idea what chipset it uses.

The way to make _the PCMCIA card_ works and why:

It seems HP sells this SCSI CD toaster with a SCSI pcmcia chipset
manufactured by KME (Matshusita).

If installed the drivers in Windoze you can read in
windows\inf\other\KMEUJDB310A.INF:

[KME]
;%*NJScsi.DeviceDesc%=NJScsi.Device, PCMCIA\WORKBIT-ULTRANINJA-16-8F2C
%*NJScsi.DeviceDesc%=NJScsi.Device, PCMCIA\KME____-SCSI-CARD-001-3406

and in windows\inf\other\KMEUJDB310B.INF:

[KME]
;%*WB_NINJA_SCSI.DeviceDesc%=WB_NINJA_SCSI.Device,PCI\VEN_1145&DEV_8007
%*WB_NINJA_SCSI.DeviceDesc%=WB_NINJA_SCSI.Device,PCI\VEN_1145&DEV_F007

It seems to be the drivers for the 16-bit and the CardBus configs (choosable
through the small switch on the card)

The "WB" refers to WorkBit. WorkBit make a SCSI pcmcia controller named
NinjaSCSI3 with the chipset of KME which has a driver in the contrib section,
of pcmcia-modules: "nin_cs".

I've compiled that module and installed with the version of pcmcia-modules
the author says to complain with. To make it works with the pcmcia shipped
with M820e you also have to put the following lines in your
/etc/pcmcia/config:

device "nin_cs"
  class "scsi" module "nin_cs"

  card "Workbit NinjaSCSI-3"
  version "KME ","SCSI-CARD-001"
  bind "nin_cs"

The module is a port from FreeBSD and Linux source code given by Workbit
(http://www.workbit.co.jp/workbit/products/driver/sc3-unix.html) and it's
latest version can be downloaded from:

http://www.netlab.is.tsukuba.ac.jp/~yokota/izumi/ninja/
     
About the switch: as far as I've tested it doesn't work in CardBus mode,
and I think it's because pcmcia-modules doesnt provide support for it. My
laptop neither support CardBus so I can tell more about it.

Well, now the bad news....

I've managed to use the pcmcia controller with a Fujitsu 4GB SCSI2 hard-disk
in 16 bit mode under linux 2.2, and it works great (a little slow due to the
lack of CardBus support). But when I plug the M820e strange things happen.

Usually I can't mount a CD and I have the following logs:

Jan 16 23:25:55 cid kernel: scsi : aborting command due to timeout : pid 199, scsi0, channel 0, id 4, lun 0 Read (10) 00 00 04 79 75 00 00 01 00
Jan 16 23:25:59 cid kernel: scsi0 channel 0 : resetting for second half of retries.
Jan 16 23:25:59 cid kernel: SCSI bus is being reset for host 0 channel 0.
Jan 16 23:25:59 cid kernel: scsi0: device driver called scsi_done() for a syncronous reset.

in a no-end loop. Sometimes it can mount the CD but when it attemps to read
something big it does the same crash. The worse of all is that it hangs the
machine completely.

I have hope someday this works, once I could mount even a CD in udf format!,
but crashed when reading as before.

   (Off-Topic: UDF it's a format wich allow use of CD as a "big floppy",
   you can append and remove (if its a RW media) without making images of
   disk. There is support for it in 2.2.x kernels and its compatable with
   other Windoze software.)

I thought it was a interrupt conflict, but with different irq and other io
port it happens the same. I have a Toshiba laptop (welcome Mr.Murphy ;) so
any experience from other more-normal-laptop user could help.

Somebody in this forum (Antonio Trujillo?, if you're in Spain, please
drop me a mail to fortu@die.upm.es) said he could work with the M820e in
a Desktop PC with a 'normal' SCSI adapter. I tried with no success.

PLEASE, give some feedback of your experience with the configuration above.
The CD Writer seems to be very good hardware, also the pcmcia card. May be
we (HP clients :) could ask together HP for some specs or support
(a month ago they said to support Linux, so ...)

thanks.

Thank you Fortunato:

This sounds like good news. I'll get the ninja driver package and try.

I can confirm Antonio's report that the HP m820e works with a "normal" SCSI adapter. So far, I tried this from an old box (486 CPU, 50MHz, therefore only double speed because of buffer underrun with quadruple speed; Adaptec 1542C SCSI adapter; Kernel version 2.0.36). The HP writer was the sole SCSI device connected. I was able to use CDR and CDRW media, both with cdrecord and cdrdao. I have not yet tried 700MB CD-R media.

I had asked the German HP support about the HP m820e, and they said that HP themselves do not support Linux and they cannot guarantee that third-party solutions have the full functionality because they have not been provided by HP ;-). They also said that the PCMCIA adapter was NOT an SCSI adaptor but something "separate". Also, media with more than normal capacity were not supported:-( 

They would offer some solutions at:
     http://www2.hp.com/cposupport/
(there they say that 80min media ARE supported:-)

However, I do not find any data about the PCMCIA adaptor there.

Question What PCMCIA SCSI card works with M820E?

Re: Question Cannot install SCSI card supplied with HP m820e (Stefan Sitter)
Date: 2000, Jun 13
From: christopher snow snowchr

I need to get my M820E working quickly with Linux and have resigned myself to the fact that I will probably have to buy a another PCMCIA scsi card to do so. I am thinking of the Adaptec 1460 SlimSCSI. Has anyone had any experiences of this (or any other) card with the M820E? Will it work?

Thanks, Chris Snow

None SCSI card that works with HP M820e

Re: Question What PCMCIA SCSI card works with M820E? (christopher snow)

From: christopher snow snowchr

The HP M820e works using the adaptec 1460D SlimSCSI card under Mandrake 7.1. No configuration was necessary, the devices were detected during the installation of Mandrake. Note: so far I have only tested CDCOPY and multi-session modes using X-CDRoast and Kisocd.

Question M820e with the 2.4.0-test15 kernel; driver almost works?

Hi.

I have problems with M820e and the latest NinjaSCSI3 alpha-000615. The kernel reports in /var/log/messages:

Aug 5 16:05:44 voyager kernel: cs: IO port probe 0x1000-0x17ff: clean.

Can anyone help me fix this?

Perhaps there is problem with my configuration of the 2.4.0-test5 kernel? (Sometimes the pcmcia compilation
reports errors in cs_internal).

PS. The NinjaSCSI3 driver appeared to work ok. with the original kernel for the Red Hat 6.2 distribution (detected
by cdrecord, mounted drives etc).

None No SCSI devices found = kernel configuration problem

Reconfigure your kernel, and this time turn on CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SR
(maybe also CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD, I think).  The SCSI host adapter driver
will not see any devices that your kernel doesn't have drivers for.
