3
41. Comment
5 This is Workbit corp.'s(http://www.workbit.co.jp/) NinjaSCSI-3
6(http://www.workbit.co.jp/ts/z_nj3r.html) and NinjaSCSI-32Bi
7(http://www.workbit.co.jp/ts/z_njsc32bi.html) PCMCIA card driver module
8for Linux.
9
102. My Linux environment
11Linux kernel: 2.4.7 / 2.2.19
12pcmcia-cs:    3.1.27
13gcc:          gcc-2.95.4
14PC card:      I-O data PCSC-F (NinjaSCSI-3)
15              I-O data CBSC-II in 16 bit mode (NinjaSCSI-32Bi)
16SCSI device:  I-O data CDPS-PX24 (CD-ROM drive)
17              Media Intelligent MMO-640GT (Optical disk drive)
18
193. Install
20[1] Check your PC card is true "NinjaSCSI-3" card.
21    If you installed pcmcia-cs already, pcmcia reports your card as UNKNOWN
22    card, and write ["WBT", "NinjaSCSI-3", "R1.0"] or some other string to
23    your console or log file.
24    You can also use "cardctl" program (this program is in pcmcia-cs source
25    code) to get more info.

35Socket 1:
36  product info: "IO DATA", "CBSC16       ", "1"

39[2] Get the Linux kernel source, and extract it to /usr/src.
40    Because the NinjaSCSI driver requires some SCSI header files in Linux
41    kernel source, I recommend rebuilding your kernel; this eliminates
42    some versioning problems.
43$ cd /usr/src
44$ tar -zxvf linux-x.x.x.tar.gz
45$ cd linux
46$ make config
47...
48
49[3] If you use this driver with Kernel 2.2, unpack pcmcia-cs in some directory
50    and make & install. This driver requires the pcmcia-cs header file.
51$ cd /usr/src
52$ tar zxvf cs-pcmcia-cs-3.x.x.tar.gz
53...
54
55[4] Extract this driver's archive somewhere, and edit Makefile, then do make.
56$ tar -zxvf nsp_cs-x.x.tar.gz
57$ cd nsp_cs-x.x
58$ emacs Makefile
59...
60$ make
61
62[5] Copy nsp_cs.ko to suitable place, like /lib/modules/<Kernel version>/pcmcia/ .
63
64[6] Add these lines to /etc/pcmcia/config .
65    If you use pcmcia-cs-3.1.8 or later, we can use "nsp_cs.conf" file.
66    So, you don't need to edit file. Just copy to /etc/pcmcia/ .

107See README.nin_cs .
108
1095. Caution
110 If you eject card when doing some operation for your SCSI device or suspend
111your computer, you encount some *BAD* error like disk crash.
112 It works good when I using this driver right way. But I'm not guarantee
113your data. Please backup your data when you use this driver.
114
1156. Known Bugs
116 In 2.4 kernel, you can't use 640MB Optical disk. This error comes from
117high level SCSI driver.
118
1197. Testing
120 Please send me some reports(bug reports etc..) of this software.
121When you send report, please tell me these or more.
122	card name
123	kernel version
124	your SCSI device name(hard drive, CD-ROM, etc...)
