Future Domain TMC-885 controllers. These beasts were just different enough in
a number of perverse ways to be recognised but not work with the seagate
stuff. I also whacked in blind transfers for DATAIN and DATAOUT phases - this
more than doubles my throughput. If you're dubious about that, comment out the
definition of SEA_BLINDTRANSFER. Anyway if you're running an ST01 or TMC-950
controller, please give this a go, I'd like to see if anything's broken for
those beasts.

were two races:
- q_to_b() might unexpectedly return 0 (e.g, after a keyboard signal
flushes the output queue and isn't echoed). ansi_put() interprets
0 bytes as 4GB...
- more output (e.g. for echoes) might arrive afer q_to_b() returns 0.
Then scstart() returns presumably and the new output might not be
handled for a long time.
Remove unused function scxint().
Fix prototypes (foo() isn't a prototype).
syscons' output is now only about 4-5 times slower than I want.
It loses a factor of 2 for scrolling output by unnecessarily copying
the screen buffer, a factor of 4/3 for dumb OPOST processing, and
a factor of 3/2 for clist processing.
Adds support for non-Sound Blaster host adapters, including those
distributed by Reveal, Lasermate, IBM, Media Vision, Crystal and others.
The driver automatically senses the correct adapter type and you can
have both in the system at the same time.
(This change should eliminate a few complaints.)
Corrected bit-masking problem that prevented use on SB Vibra-16 boards.
Declared some internal data and functions static that should have been
that way all along.
Documentation changes reflect the new hardware support and change the
appearance version to 2.0.5 (was 2.1). Nice and tidy. :-)
Beta testers have verified functionality on SB16, Vibra-16, Media Vision
and Reveal adapters. -Wall still shows no warnings.

- use pseudo-dma
- provide the same features and interface as sio
- support multiple boards
- fix bugs.
Some compile-time configuration constants are set to support higher
speeds and Cyclom-16Y's at a 30% relative cost in efficiency.
Cyclom-16Y support is untested.
form to do this than it is relying on individual subroutines (the logic
in epioctl is itself very minimal). Ideally, unnecessary splimp()'s should
now be removed if they exist; I'll leave this for a later date (a complete
code review of the driver needs to be done). Fixes a bug I noticed that
would show up when ifconfig'ing the interface down.
optimizations I have been working on yet, but does bring in some bug fixes
and performance improvments that were easy to regression test:
Setup the data fifo threshold and bus off timing correctly for 27/284x cards.
Users of these adapters with fast periferals (greater than 5MB/s) will notice
a big performance difference. (Sometimes as large as going from 3.7->8.3MB/s).
Fix handling of the active target flags. Some of the outbs where missing
the base offset in the abort code. The abort code still needs lots of work.
Support 3940 controllers, but only with 16 SCBs for now. Eventually I'll
add support for all 255, but I need to find a tester for the code first since
we have to enable the cards external SRAM to do this.
Add Dan Eischen's serial eeprom reading facilities. This allows the 2940
adapters to pull additional information left over from SCSI-Select right out
out of the configuration seeprom.
If the BIOS is disabled on 274x controllers, reset all target parameters
to there defaults since you can't rely on what is stored in scratch ram.
Report motherboard controllers as such.
Stick the first SG address and count into the SCB data and count areas for
all transfers in preparation of a later sequencer optimization.
Keep track of which targets can are allowed to have the disconnection
priveledge since this will be handled by the kernel driver in the future.
If a target issues a message reject in response to a tagged message,
disable tagged queuing for that target. Some seagates say they can do
tagged queuing, but lie, and its a shame to have to disable tagged queuing
on all devices just because you have one that can't cope.
fail on new hardware (Compaq Prolinea and Compaq Prosignea), and that
doesn't erroneously identify old mech. 2 chip sets as using mech. 1.
(See section 3.6.4.1.1 of the PCI bus specs rev. 2.0)
clearer. The "informational message" almost looks like an instruction to
the user to change settings on the card....
It's cosmetic, but...

no ports are active, provided there are no polled ports and no
`LOSESOUTINTS' ports. Do a little more in the interrupt handler instead.
This is a little less efficient if there are are many active ports but
a little more efficient otherwise. Polled ports are ones with no irq
specified (as before). `LOSESOUTINTS' ports are ones with 0x08 set in
their config flags. Unless this flag is set, it will now take up to one
second to recover from lost output interrupts, if any. Some 8250s and
16450s lose output interrupts.
Improve output buffering: copy the clist buffer to 2 linear buffers if
necessary and possible instead of to 1. Handle an arbitrary queue of
buffers in the interrupt handler. Check for waking up sleepers after
copying characters out of the clist buffer instead of before.
Delay translation of TIOCM_DTR to MCR_DTR etc. so that the top level
routines are more machine independent.
Fix bogus device register in unused code.
Fix one such THING in code to match comment.
Sort IO_GSC* into numeric order and update comments about the gaps.
Sort common SCSI addresses into alphabetical order.
Remove bogus comments about com ports having i/o size 4.
Uniformize whitespace.
Uniformize case in hex digits.
This file is very incomplete. In particular, it doesn't mention any
network cards. This doesn't matter much for the base addresses, but
it means that the comments about which addresses are free are mostly
bogus. The i/o sizes are unreliable because of split address ranges
for many devices (VGA, wd). The i/o sizes are incomplete. In
particular, there are no sizes for SCSI controllers. The bt driver
still returns a truth value instead of a size.
the National Semiconductor InfoMover PCMCIA cards also. In tests on a
NE4100 on Jordan's laptop here, the ze driver works fine with that
card.

the 802.3 frames generated by the DC21040 (which does automatic padding
of less-than-minimum frames) and the frames generated by the 'ed'
driver, I've found that there is indeed a bug in the size of "ETHER_MIN_LEN"
as reported by several people, John Hay being the most recent. The driver
was actually setting the length to 6+6+2+50 (64 bytes), which when adding
in the CRC (which is automatically appended to the frame and not included
in the length), the minimum frame is 4 bytes larger than it is supposed to
be. All of this is confirmed by tcpdump showing 50 bytes of data for
minimum frames from the 'ed' cards and 46 bytes from 'de' cards. This
analysis has also revealed that there is garbage in the un-filled in
portion at the end of the minimum frames from the 'ed' driver; I don't
plan to fix this.
A phone call from Manfred quickly pointed up the fact that I got the conflict
check backwards. NOW we implement the conflict checking correctly! Wheesh!
to access it. setdelayed() actually ORs the bits in `idelayed' into
`ipending' and clears `idelayed'.
Call setdelayed() every (normal) clock tick to convert delayed
interrupts into pending ones.
Drivers can set bits in `idelayed' at any time to schedule an interrupt
at the next clock tick. This is more efficient than calling timeout().
Currently only software interrupts can be scheduled.
It closed the wrong device (usually the B partition instead of the C
partition).
It closed a device without having opened it.
It didn't open a device often enough. This caused swap partitions on
slices other than the first slice looked at to be unavailable for swapping.
It didn't check the device number sufficiently.
