From: drew@ophelia.cs.colorado.edu (Drew Eckhardt) Subject: New SCSI drivers Date: 7 Jul 1992 03:45:13 GMT
A new version of the SCSI drivers has been posted to
headrest.woz.colorado.edu. The files are
scsi.096b.2.tar.Z - source + diffs
vmunix.096b.2.Z - bootable generic kernel
The bootable kernel is .96b, patch level 2 + FIFO + ETXTBSY
patches, sans experimental buffer cache code.
Note that unlike most other SCSI patches, the patches
include a diff to kernel/blk_drv/ll_rw_blk.c.
Changes include
- A hack to clear up initial errors, like the READ_CAPACITY
problem.
- Support for the WD7000FASST (Thanks Thomas Wuensche!)
- Support for Linus's "Queue-compression" code. Although
this is not true scatter gather, it does give a slight
performance increase. Your mileage may vary.
