Re: SCSI (fwd)

>From the FM (SCSI-HOWTO):

  SCSI hosts that will NEVER work :

  Non Adaptec compatible, non NCR53c8xx DTC boards (including the 3270
  and 3280).

Also from the SCSI-HOWTO:

  5.3.  Adaptec 152x, 151x, 1505, 282x, Sound Blaster 16 SCSI, SCSI Pro,
  Gigabyte, and other AIC 6260/6360 based products (Standard)

  Supported Configurations :

       BIOS addresses : 0xd8000, 0xdc000, 0xd0000, 0xd4000, 0xc8000, 0xcc000, 0x
e0000,
                        0xe4000.
       Ports          : 0x140, 0x340
       IRQs           : 9, 10, 11, 12
       DMA            : not used
       IO             : port mapped

  Autoprobe :

       Works with many boards with an installed BIOS.  All
       other boards, including the Adaptec 1510, and Sound Blaster16 SCSI
       must use a kernel command line or compile time override.

  Autoprobe Override :

  Compile time :

       Define PORTBASE, IRQ, SCSI_ID, RECONNECT, PARITY as appropriate, see Defi
nes

  kernel command line :

       aha152x=<PORTBASE>[,<IRQ>[,<SCSI-ID>[,<RECONNECT>[,<PARITY>]]]]

  SCSI-ID is the SCSI ID of the HOST adapter, not of any devices you
  have installed on it.  Usually, this should be 7.

  To force detection at 0x340, IRQ 11, at SCSI-ID 7, allowing
  disconnect/reconnect, you would use the following command line option
  :

       aha152x=0x340,11,7,1

  Antiquity Problems, fix by upgrading :

  1. The driver fails with VLB boards.  There was a timing problem in
     kernels older than revision 1.0.5.

  Defines :

       AUTOCONF       : use configuration the controller reports (only 152x)
       IRQ            : override interrupt channel (9,10,11 or 12) (default 11)
       SCSI_ID        : override SCSI ID of AIC-6260 (0-7) (default 7)
       RECONNECT      : override target disconnect/reselect (set to non-zero to
                        allow, zero to disable)
       DONT_SNARF     : Don't register ports (pl12 and below)
       SKIP_BIOSTEST  : Don't test for BIOS signature (AHA-1510 or disabled BIOS
)
       PORTBASE       : Force port base. Don't try to probe

In other words, if the 1505 is not VL, it seems it should work with the aha152x
driver.
