Status
|
|
|
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
|
The driver has been tested with CD-R and CD-R/W drives. These should
|
|
|
|
|
be safe to use. Testing with hard disks has not been done to any
|
|
|
|
|
great degree and caution should be exercised if you want to attempt
|
|
|
|
|
to use this driver with hard disks.

Parameters
|
|
|
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
|
The driver uses the settings from the EEPROM set in the SCSI BIOS
|
|
|
|
|
setup. If there is no EEPROM, the driver uses default values.
|
|
|
|
|
Both can be overridden by command line parameters (module or kernel
|
|
|
|
|
parameters).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following parameters are available:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
safe
|
|
|
|
|
Default: 0, Acceptable values: 0 or 1
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If safe is set to 1 then the adapter will use conservative
|
|
|
|
|
("safe") default settings. This sets:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
shortcut for dc395x=7,4,9,15,2,10
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
adapter_id
|
|
|
|
|
Default: 7, Acceptable values: 0 to 15
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sets the host adapter SCSI ID.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
