- As Markus has already mentioned, if you try and work with the

- Start with the 613 kernel, get a copy of the binpatch program
- and the README.binpatch file. Use binpatch to find and initialize
- the _inhibit_sync array. Its format is like this:
- device
- 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
- SCSI 3000 . . . . . . . .
- controller other . . . . . . . .
- other . . . . . . . .
-
- Where each '.' is a byte (I forget the names and order of the
- other 2 SCSI controllers which are supported). These bytes are
- initialized to 0 in the kernel image; set the right byte
- to 1 to disable sync negotiation for a particular device.

- The kernel source, along with the other stuff I mentioned is on
- ftp.eunet.ch, under software/os/bsd/NetBSD/NetBSD-Amiga.
