I have been trying out the compiled version of the SCSISoftWD33C93
driver. It could not recognize the fact that there was a podule present.
I am used to this type of behaviour with the card and the original old
driver when using it on my RiscPC's. I have to use Podule 0 to get it to
work. Using the RiscPC 4way backplane I couldn't try podule 0 position,
so I edited a bit of the initialising code to change the default from 0
to 3 if the podule search fails. I now get:
*devices
Device Type Capacity Vendor Product Revision
0:0.0
0:1.0
0:2.0
0:3.0
0:4.0
0:5.0
0:6.0
0:7.0 Host ACORN SCSI expansion 1.14
which is a welcome change.
However I can't get any extra devices to be found so I may not have
modified enough yet. :-(
It's possible it hasn't actually put the proper base address in place
and/or that the Host on 7 is simply assumed because it's the only place
for it.
I have many questions but I will keep it to a few.
Does the SCSIFS on the IYONIX support ADFS, and/or FAT harddrives?
I have been experiencing IYONIX reluctance to restart with the
harddrives connected, though on the RiscPC the identical layout is OK.
Any ideas in this department?
I actually had hot restart problems a while ago for some reason and I
had to change my keyboard to cure it. I'm still on 5.11, but will
upgrade as soon as the overseas sales is sorted out.
Cheers -Ron
