WorkBiT NinjaSCSI-3/32Bi driver for Linux
=========================================
1. Comment
==========
This is Workbit corp.'s(http://www.workbit.co.jp/) NinjaSCSI-3
for Linux.
2. My Linux environment
=======================
:Linux kernel: 2.4.7 / 2.2.19
:pcmcia-cs: 3.1.27
:gcc: gcc-2.95.4
: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 (Optical disk drive)
3. Install
==========
(a) 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.

...
# cardctl ident
Socket 0:

Socket 1:

(b) Get the Linux kernel source, and extract it to /usr/src.
Because the NinjaSCSI driver requires some SCSI header files in Linux
kernel source, I recommend rebuilding your kernel; this eliminates
some versioning problems.
::
$ cd /usr/src
$ tar -zxvf linux-x.x.x.tar.gz
$ cd linux
$ make config
...
(c) If you use this driver with Kernel 2.2, unpack pcmcia-cs in some directory
and make & install. This driver requires the pcmcia-cs header file.
::
$ cd /usr/src
$ tar zxvf cs-pcmcia-cs-3.x.x.tar.gz
...
(d) Extract this driver's archive somewhere, and edit Makefile, then do make::
$ tar -zxvf nsp_cs-x.x.tar.gz
$ cd nsp_cs-x.x
$ emacs Makefile
...
$ make
(e) Copy nsp_cs.ko to suitable place, like /lib/modules/<Kernel version>/pcmcia/ .
(f) Add these lines to /etc/pcmcia/config .
If you use pcmcia-cs-3.1.8 or later, we can use "nsp_cs.conf" file.
So, you don't need to edit file. Just copy to /etc/pcmcia/ .

(f) Start (or restart) 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 works good when I using this driver right way. But I'm not guarantee
your data. Please backup your data when you use this driver.
6. Known Bugs
=============
In 2.4 kernel, you can't use 640MB Optical disk. This error comes from
high level SCSI driver.
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...)
