If the irq parameter is 0 or 255 23 then no IRQ will be used. 24 25 The NCR53c400 does not support DMA but it does have Pseudo-DMA which is 26 supported by the driver. 27 28 This driver provides some information on what it has detected in 29 /proc/scsi/g_NCR5380/x where x is the scsi card number as detected at boot 30 time. More info to come in the future. 31 32 This driver works as a module. 33 When included as a module, parameters can be passed on the insmod/modprobe 34 command line: 35 36 ============= =============================================================== 37 irq=xx[,...] the interrupt(s) 38 base=xx[,...] the port or base address(es) (for port or memory mapped, resp.) 39 card=xx[,...] card type(s): 40 41 == ====================================== 42 0 NCR5380, 43 1 NCR53C400, 44 2 NCR53C400A, 45 3 Domex Technology Corp 3181E (DTC3181E) 46 4 Hewlett Packard C2502 47 == ====================================== 48 ============= =============================================================== 49 50 These old-style parameters can support only one card: 51 52 ============= ================================================= 53 ncr_irq=xx the interrupt 54 ncr_addr=xx the port or base address (for port or memory 55 mapped, resp.) 56 ncr_5380=1 to set up for a NCR5380 board 57 ncr_53c400=1 to set up for a NCR53C400 board 58 ncr_53c400a=1 to set up for a NCR53C400A board 59 dtc_3181e=1 to set up for a Domex Technology Corp 3181E board 60 hp_c2502=1 to set up for a Hewlett Packard C2502 board 61 ============= ================================================= 62 63 E.g.
