to a reasonable compromise:
MASTER_SITES now contains a space seperated list of sites for which each
DISTFILE may be retrieved. This should be a directory spec, which will be
concatenated with each file in DISTFILES. HOME_LOCATION is *gone* now
and isn't used for anything, so you can delete it from your Makefiles.
If you want to force a fetch from a given location, simply do something like:
MASTER_SITES= ftp://fnord.foo.bar/pub/dist
DISTFILES= a.tar.gz b.tar.gz
Your entry in MASTER_SITES will be tried first to fetch a.tar.gz and
b.tar.gz, followed by any master sites we have set up (right now, only
freebsd.cdrom.com).
you download the microcode to the DSP everytime you power on your system.
They provide a dos-program to do so, but no other support. This commit adds
code to the sio-driver, which implement an ioctl, which will down-load the
micro-code.
To get this functionality, you must define DSI_SOFT_MODEM.
The program to actually employ the ioctl is not included, but the entire
source looks like this:
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <stdio.h>
main()
{
unsigned char buffer[100000];
int i;
read(0,buffer,100000);
if((i = ioctl(1,TIOCDSIMICROCODE,buffer)) < 0)
perror("ioctl");
return i;
}
And you use it like this:
smload < data144b.dsi > /dev/ttyid3
You need to copy the *.DSI files from the dos-media provide with your modem.
You can see what is downloaded by issuing the ATI3 command to the modem.
DSI's scheme for what code you can run on your modem isn't violated by this.

This puppy is in good shape now.
It is a fully blown SCSI-driver, but it isn't a high performance one. It is
implemented entirely with polled I/O, and is intended to drive CD-ROM's, not
disks and tapes. It will run disks and tapes if asked to, but it isn't a
very good idea to do so. Transfer-rates max out at 600-700 kbyte/sec.
There is one problem: when write-requests get over 8192 bytes, the pseudo-DMA
stalls. This is only a problem if you dd(1) to a raw-device of some kind,
for mounting a disk it is ok. I have circumvented this by disabling the
pseudo-DMA in those cases.
It's very unlikely that I will spend more time on improving the performance
of this driver, it can do what I want it to now: install from a CD-ROM, and I
don't see any benefit in actually adding interrupts to the driver, considering
that performance never will be better than 700 kbyte/sec anyway.
You can install it under 1.1.5 too, by adding the lines to files.i386, your
config-file and copying pas.c and ic/ncr_5380.h over.
I will fix any bugs I can get a handle on.
