Message-ID: <20010523130248.21311199C0@mail.cse.psu.edu> (raw)
there isn't a current driver that comes close to being appropriate for that
prehistoric controller. there were some drivers a long time ago, perhaps included
in the 2nd edition, which did all that low-level protocol stuff, i'm thinking
of the chip that was in the magnum (ncr 53c94) and the western-digital
one used in the hobbit board.
there is apparently a manual for the chip, but you'd have to probably contact
adaptec by phone for a paper copy, i couldn't find it on-line. i'd be happy to
help if there's a manual.
