10This is Workbit corp.'s(http://www.workbit.co.jp/) NinjaSCSI-3
11for Linux.
12
132. My Linux environment
14=======================
15
16:Linux kernel: 2.4.7 / 2.2.19
17:pcmcia-cs:    3.1.27
18:gcc:          gcc-2.95.4
19:PC card:      I-O data PCSC-F (NinjaSCSI-3),
20               I-O data CBSC-II in 16 bit mode (NinjaSCSI-32Bi)
21:SCSI device:  I-O data CDPS-PX24 (CD-ROM drive),
22               Media Intelligent MMO-640GT (Optical disk drive)
23
243. Install
25==========
26
27(a) Check your PC card is true "NinjaSCSI-3" card.
28
29    If you installed pcmcia-cs already, pcmcia reports your card as UNKNOWN
30    card, and write ["WBT", "NinjaSCSI-3", "R1.0"] or some other string to
31    your console or log file.
32
33    You can also use "cardctl" program (this program is in pcmcia-cs source
34    code) to get more info.
35
36    ::
37
38	# cat /var/log/messages
39	...
40	Jan  2 03:45:06 lindberg cardmgr[78]: unsupported card in socket 1
41	Jan  2 03:45:06 lindberg cardmgr[78]:   product info: "WBT", "NinjaSCSI-3", "R1.0"
42	...
43	# cardctl ident
44	Socket 0:
45	  no product info available
46	Socket 1:
47	  product info: "IO DATA", "CBSC16       ", "1"

50(b) Get the Linux kernel source, and extract it to /usr/src.
51    Because the NinjaSCSI driver requires some SCSI header files in Linux
52    kernel source, I recommend rebuilding your kernel; this eliminates
53    some versioning problems.
54
55    ::
56
57	$ cd /usr/src
58	$ tar -zxvf linux-x.x.x.tar.gz
59	$ cd linux
60	$ make config
61	...
62
63(c) If you use this driver with Kernel 2.2, unpack pcmcia-cs in some directory
64    and make & install. This driver requires the pcmcia-cs header file.
65
66    ::
67
68	$ cd /usr/src
69	$ tar zxvf cs-pcmcia-cs-3.x.x.tar.gz
70	...
71
72(d) Extract this driver's archive somewhere, and edit Makefile, then do make::
73
74	$ tar -zxvf nsp_cs-x.x.tar.gz
75	$ cd nsp_cs-x.x
76	$ emacs Makefile
77	...
78	$ make
79
80(e) Copy nsp_cs.ko to suitable place, like /lib/modules/<Kernel version>/pcmcia/ .
81
82(f) Add these lines to /etc/pcmcia/config .
83
84    If you use pcmcia-cs-3.1.8 or later, we can use "nsp_cs.conf" file.
85    So, you don't need to edit file. Just copy to /etc/pcmcia/ .

116	  version "KME    ", "SCSI-CARD-004", "1"
117	  bind "nsp_cs"
118
119(f) Start (or restart) pcmcia-cs::
120
121	# /etc/rc.d/rc.pcmcia start        (BSD style)
122
123    or::

1284. History
129==========
130
131See README.nin_cs .
132
1335. Caution
134==========
135
136If you eject card when doing some operation for your SCSI device or suspend
137your computer, you encount some *BAD* error like disk crash.
138
139It works good when I using this driver right way. But I'm not guarantee
140your data. Please backup your data when you use this driver.
141
1426. Known Bugs
143=============
144
145In 2.4 kernel, you can't use 640MB Optical disk. This error comes from
146high level SCSI driver.
147
1487. Testing
149==========
150
151Please send me some reports(bug reports etc..) of this software.
152When you send report, please tell me these or more.
153
154	- card name
155	- kernel version
156	- your SCSI device name(hard drive, CD-ROM, etc...)
