Western Digital 33C296A SCSI support
Hi!
Is there $subject inside eg version 2.4.17 of Linux kernel? I've been told that this chip was used on boards named 'wd7xxx' inside kernel config. However after eyeballing the source (drivers/scsi/wd7000.c) it seems that it's for ISA cards but my card is PCI one:
01:09.0 SCSI storage controller: Western Digital 33C296A
Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR+ FastB2B-
Status: Cap- 66Mhz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR-
Latency: 66 (1250ns min, 1500ns max), cache line size 08
Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 11
Region 0: I/O ports at 1000 [size=256]
Region 1: Memory at 40200000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=256]
Expansion ROM at <unassigned> [disabled] [size=64K]
Is there any hope to use this scsi adaptor with Linux?
Thanx in advance.

WD killed off it's SCSI host adapter division many years ago, and it took to the grave all the documentation needed for a Linux driver (or for any other modern OS). Sorry to say, but you'll need a new card.
