HPUX 10.20 SCSI Hardware Drivers
I own a 1999 vintage HP Logic Analyzer that runs HPUX 10.20. It is a 9000/775/rock system similar to a Visualize C132L/160L system.
I'm attempting, mostly for the fun of it, to upgrade the existing slow 5MB/s-only SCSI system, with a new-er PCI card. Of course drivers is my major concern. I'd like to assemble as many hardware drivers for as many different SCSI cards as possible for that OS. I'm going to attempt to buy from ebay an older card, and then get it running.
I have so many questions:
- Where are drivers stored within the OS?
- How do you install a new driver?
- So far, the best I can determine is that you create a new kernel using SAM and change the "OUT" to "IN" for the particular line, once that driver is installed.
- Are there any official CDROM sources that would have a ton of drivers?
- The drivers I obtain are going to become my shopping list --- whatever I have support for, I'll have to find a matching card...
My current system only has C720 installed. This is an NCR/LSI/Symbios 53C720 driver. I *may* be able to find a compatible card, but I think it might be tough.

HISTORY
The pcmcia driver appeared in NetBSD 1.3.
BUGS
IO space conflicts
NetBSD probes the PCMCIA IO bus width and uses that information to decide where to map PCMCIA IO space. For 10-bit wide cards, 0x300-0x3ff
is used. For 12-bit wide cards, 0x400-0x4ff is used.
Neither choice is perfect. In the 12-bit case, 0x400 appears to work in substantially more devices than 0x300. In the event that PCMCIA
devices are mapped in 0x400-0x4ff and appear to be nonfunctional, remapping to 0x300-0x3ff may be appropriate; consult options
PCIC_ISA_ALLOC_IOBASE and options PCIC_ISA_ALLOC_IOSIZE in options(4). Example:
# Avoid PCMCIA bus space conflicts with the default IO space
# allocation on 12-bit wide busses (base 0x300 size 0xff).
options PCIC_ISA_ALLOC_IOBASE=0x300
options PCIC_ISA_ALLOC_IOSIZE=0x0ff
Interrupt conflicts
NetBSD attempts to probe for available interrupts to assign to PCMCIA devices. In some cases, it is not possible to detect all interrupts in
use; in such cases, use of options PCIC_ISA_INTR_ALLOC_MASK may be necessary. See options(4).
Unconfigured devices
During autoconfiguration, if a message is displayed saying that your card is "not configured" it indicates that there isn't support for your
card compiled into the kernel. To fix this problem, it may simply be a matter of adding the manufacturer and product IDs to the PCMCIA data-
base or adding a front-end attachment to an existing driver. In the latter case, it is normally always necessary to get a dump of the CIS
table from the card. You can do this by adding options PCMCIACISDEBUG and options PCMCIADEBUG into your kernel config file. Additionally,
you will have to patch the kernel to enable run-time debugging. This can be done in the source by changing the variables pcmcia_debug and
pcmciacis_debug to 0xff. Alternatively, you can patch the same variables at run-time using ddb(4). For most drivers you should also con-
sider enabling any driver-specific debugging options.
