4 1. 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
8 for Linux.

10 2. My Linux environment
11 Linux kernel: 2.4.7 / 2.2.19
12 pcmcia-cs: 3.1.27
13 gcc: gcc-2.95.4
14 PC card: I-O data PCSC-F (NinjaSCSI-3)
15 I-O data CBSC-II in 16 bit mode (NinjaSCSI-32Bi)
16 SCSI device: I-O data CDPS-PX24 (CD-ROM drive)
17 Media Intelligent MMO-640GT (Optical disk drive)
18
19 3. 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.

27 # cat /var/log/messgaes

34 no product info available
35 Socket 1:
36 product info: "IO DATA", "CBSC16 ", "1"

39 [2] Get Linux kernel source, and extract it to /usr/src.
40 Because NinjaSCSI driver requiers some SCSI header files in Linux kernel
41 source.
42 I recomend rebuilding your kernel. This eliminate some versioning problem.
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 requies 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.o to suitable plase, like /lib/modules/<Kernel version>/pcmcia/ .
63
64 [6] Add these lines to /etc/pcmcia/config .
65 If you yse 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/ .

102 or
103 # /etc/init.d/pcmcia start (SYSV style)

106 4. History
107 See README.nin_cs .
108
109 5. Caution
110 If you eject card when doing some operation for your SCSI device or suspend
111 your 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
113 your data. Please backup your data when you use this driver.
114
115 6. Known Bugs
116 In 2.4 kernel, you can't use 640MB Optical disk. This error comes from
117 high level SCSI driver.
118
119 7. Testing
120 Please send me some reports(bug reports etc..) of this software.
121 When 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...)
