- Short: Replacement Driver for CLtd SCSI V1.2
- Author: fw@well.com (Frederick H. G. Wright II)
- Uploader: fw@well.com (Frederick H. G. Wright II)
- Version: 1.2
- Type: hard/drivr
- Requires: CLtd SCSI controller Manf=1004/Prod=12
-
-
- General description
- -------------------
-
- This is a replacement for the factory driver for the CLtd SCSI controller.
- It was originally written for the A1000 controller with the "SCSI-DOS 2.01
- upgrade" PAL. It should work with this controller or any other compatible
- version. The included configlist program can be used to check the
- controller version before installation.
-
-
- Features
- --------
-
- Near-theoretical transfer rate, given the limitations of the hardware.
-
- Does not "hog" the CPU while waiting for mechanical delays.
-
- Handles UNIT ATTENTION status properly.
-
- Sends a SCSI RESET initially, avoiding the need to power-cycle the drive
- if a crash or hang occurs during a transfer.
-
- Non-copying unbuffered design for best FFS performance.
-
- Supports the "SCSI direct" command, allowing access to all SCSI device types,
- and the use of various SCSI utilities.
-
- Drive addressing is compatible with most other Amiga SCSI drivers.
-
- Performs SCSI bus arbitration, allowing sharing of devices between computers.
- WARNING: THIS DOES *NOT* BY ITSELF PROVIDE A SHARED FILE SYSTEM - BEWARE!!!
-
- Should work correctly with most accelerators.
-
- Supports LUNs and multiple controllers.
-
- Does not get confused by unexpected SCSI phase sequences.
-
- Fully enforces all buffer boundaries, even if the device misbehaves.
-
- Does not send SCSI RESETs to abandon unsuccessful selections.
-
-
- System requirements
- -------------------
-
- Amiga equipped with one or more compatible CLtd SCSI controllers.
-
- CPU: Written for 000/010 <=16MHz or 020/030 <=50MHz.
- Tested on 68010 @ 7.16MHz.
-
- OS: Written for OS 1.2 through at least OS 3.1. Tested under 1.3 & 2.04.
