For those of you that have some problem with Linux's existing<br>
|
||
sg driver, you may like to try one found at:<br>
|
||
<a href="http://www.netwinder.org/~dougg">http://www.netwinder.org/~dougg</a><br>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The driver is for Linux kernel version 2.2.1 (and will work for<br>
|
||
all versions back to 2.1.118). It has the following features:<br>
|
||
- backward compatible with the existing interface (some dislike this)<br>
|
||
- adds scatter-gather (good-bye SG_BIG_BUF limit)<br>
|
||
- adds per file sequencing (was per device)<br>
|
||
- adds command queuing (can go write(), write(), read(), read() )<br>
|
||
- adds asynchronous notification<br>
|
||
- uses RAM above 16MB level if non-ISA adapter (eg PCI)<br>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The web page above also contains several test programs. I would<br>
|
||
certainly appreciate further testing. I have a UMAX Astra 1220S<br>
|
||
which works fine with the enhanced sg driver (with or without<br>
|
||
recompilation). <br>
|
||
<p>
|
||
If this driver is sufficiently "backward compatible" and adds <br>
|
||
features that apps writers think are useful then it will be <br>
|
||
presented to the powers that be for consideration for replacing<br>
|
||
the existing driver in 2.2.1 (which is the same driver (almost)<br>
|
||
as used in 2.0.x).<br>
