WorkBiT NinjaSCSI-3/32Bi driver for Linux

1. Comment
 This is Workbit corp.'s(http://www.workbit.co.jp/) NinjaSCSI-3
(http://www.workbit.co.jp/workbit/products/nscsi-3.html) and NinjaSCSI-32Bi
PCMCIA card driver module for Linux.

2. My Linux environment
Linux kernel: 2.2.x/2.3.x, (Not tested on 2.3.x)
pcmcia-cs:    3.1.15
gcc:          gcc-2.95.2 20000313
PC card:      I-O data PCSC-F (NinjaSCSI-3)
              I-O data CBSC-II in 16 bit mode (NinjaSCSI-32Bi)
SCSI device:  I-O data CDPS-PX24 (CD-ROM drive)
              Media Intelligent MMO-640GT (MO drive)

3. Install
[1] Check your PC card is true "NinjaSCSI-3" card.
    If you installed pcmcia-cs already, pcmcia reports your card as UNKNOWN
    card, and write ["WBT", "NinjaSCSI-3", "R1.0"] or some other string to
    your console or log file.
    You can also use "cardctl" program (this program is in pcmcia-cs source
    code) to get more info.

# cat /var/log/messgaes
...
Jan  2 03:45:06 lindberg cardmgr[78]: unsupported card in socket 1
Jan  2 03:45:06 lindberg cardmgr[78]:   product info: "WBT", "NinjaSCSI-3", "R1.0"
...
# cardctl ident
Socket 0:
  no product info available
Socket 1:
  product info: "IO DATA", "CBSC16       ", "1"


[2] Get Linux kernel source, and extract it to /usr/src.
    Because NinjaSCSI driver requiers some SCSI header files in Linux kernel
    source.
    I recomend rebuilding your kernel. This eliminate some versioning problem.
$ cd /usr/src
$ tar -zxvf linux-2.2.x.tar.gz
$ cd linux
$ make config
...

[3] Unpack pcmcia-cs in some directory.
$ cd /usr/src
$ tar zxvf cs-pcmcia-cs-3.x.x.tar.gz

[4] Unpack NinjaSCSI-3 driver source code. "nin_cs.mk" is the makefile of
    NinjaSCSI driver. You can edit this file.
$ cd pcmcia-cs-3.x.x
$ tar zxvf NinjaSCSI3-x.x.tar.gz

[5] make & install as usual.
$ make config
$ make all
$ su
# make install

[6] Add these lines to /etc/pcmcia/config .
    If you yse pcmcia-cs-3.1.8 or later, we can use "nin_cs.conf" file.
    So, you don't need to edit file.

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

card "Workbit NinjaSCSI-3"
  version "WBT", "NinjaSCSI-3", "R1.0"
  bind "nin_cs"

card "WorkBit NinjaSCSI-32Bi (16bit)"
  version "WORKBIT", "UltraNinja-16", "1"
  bind "nin_cs"
-------------------------------------

[7] Boot (or reboot) pcmcia-cs.
# /etc/rc.d/rc.pcmcia start        (BSD style)
or
# /etc/init.d/pcmcia start         (SYSV style)


4. History
See README.nin_cs .

5. Caution
 If you eject card when doing some operation for your SCSI device or suspend
your computer, you encount some *BAD* error like disk crash.
 It looks good when you using this driver right way. But I'm not guarantee
your data. Please make backup when you use this driver.

6. Known Bugs
 There are some known bugs.

7. Testing
 Please send me some reports(bug reports etc..) of this software.
When you send report, please tell me these or more.
	card name
	kernel version
	your SCSI device name(hard drive, CD-ROM, etc...)
