+ WorkBiT NinjaSCSI-3/32Bi driver for Linux
+
+1. Comment
+ This is Workbit corp.'s(http://www.workbit.co.jp/) NinjaSCSI-3
+(http://www.workbit.co.jp/ts/z_nj3r.html) and NinjaSCSI-32Bi
+(http://www.workbit.co.jp/ts/z_njsc32bi.html) PCMCIA card driver module
+for Linux.
+
+2. My Linux environment
+Linux kernel: 2.4.7 / 2.2.19
+pcmcia-cs: 3.1.27
+gcc: gcc-2.95.4
+PC card: I-O data PCSC-F (NinjaSCSI-3)
+ I-O data CBSC-II in 16 bit mode (NinjaSCSI-32Bi)
+SCSI device: I-O data CDPS-PX24 (CD-ROM drive)
+ Media Intelligent MMO-640GT (Optical disk drive)
+
+3. Install
+[1] Check your PC card is true "NinjaSCSI-3" card.
+ If you installed pcmcia-cs already, pcmcia reports your card as UNKNOWN
+ card, and write ["WBT", "NinjaSCSI-3", "R1.0"] or some other string to
+ your console or log file.
+ You can also use "cardctl" program (this program is in pcmcia-cs source
+ code) to get more info.
+
+# cat /var/log/messgaes
+...
+Jan 2 03:45:06 lindberg cardmgr[78]: unsupported card in socket 1
+Jan 2 03:45:06 lindberg cardmgr[78]: product info: "WBT", "NinjaSCSI-3", "R1.0"
+...
+# cardctl ident
+Socket 0:
+ no product info available
+Socket 1:
+ product info: "IO DATA", "CBSC16 ", "1"
+
+
+[2] Get Linux kernel source, and extract it to /usr/src.
+ Because NinjaSCSI driver requiers some SCSI header files in Linux kernel
+ source.
+ I recomend rebuilding your kernel. This eliminate some versioning problem.
+$ cd /usr/src
+$ tar -zxvf linux-x.x.x.tar.gz
+$ cd linux
+$ make config
+...
+
+[3] If you use this driver with Kernel 2.2, Unpack pcmcia-cs in some directory
+ and make & install. This driver requies pcmcia-cs header file.
+$ cd /usr/src
+$ tar zxvf cs-pcmcia-cs-3.x.x.tar.gz
+...
+
+[4] Extract this driver's archive somewhere, and edit Makefile, then do make.
+$ tar -zxvf nsp_cs-x.x.tar.gz
+$ cd nsp_cs-x.x
+$ emacs Makefile
+...
+$ make
+
+[5] Copy nsp_cs.o to suitable plase, like /lib/modules/<Kernel version>/pcmcia/ .
+
+[6] Add these lines to /etc/pcmcia/config .
+ If you yse pcmcia-cs-3.1.8 or later, we can use "nsp_cs.conf" file.
+ So, you don't need to edit file. Just copy to /etc/pcmcia/ .

+
+4. History
+See README.nin_cs .
+
+5. Caution
+ If you eject card when doing some operation for your SCSI device or suspend
+your computer, you encount some *BAD* error like disk crash.
+ It works good when I using this driver right way. But I'm not guarantee
+your data. Please backup your data when you use this driver.
+
+6. Known Bugs
+ In 2.4 kernel, you can't use 640MB Optical disk. This error comes from
+high level SCSI driver.
+
+7. Testing
+ Please send me some reports(bug reports etc..) of this software.
+When you send report, please tell me these or more.
+ card name
+ kernel version
+ your SCSI device name(hard drive, CD-ROM, etc...)
