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.

DAIC(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual DAIC(4)
NAME
daic -- isdn4bsd driver for EICON.Diehl active ISDN cards
SYNOPSIS
daic0 at isa? iomem 0xd8000 irq 10
DESCRIPTION
The daic driver supports the old Diehl active cards: S, SX, SXn, SCOM and QUADRO.
For a QUADRO card, the driver will detect the board type and use all four ports, each attached as a controller of its own to the isdn4bsd
system, which can be listed using the daicctl utility.
The daic driver interfaces the ISDN card to the ISDN4BSD kernel subsystem. All lower layer ISDN control is handled by the card. This should
allow you to run any national ISDN protocol delivered by EICON.Diehl for your card, but the driver has only been tested with the DSS1 proto-
col and some parts of the cards interface are ISDN protocol dependent.
The daic driver is written to conform to the software interface documented by Diehl in their ISDN-Karten Benutzerhandbuch from 1992.
MICROCODE DOWNLOAD
Every active card needs its own operating software before it can work. You have to download this to the card before using it with isdn4bsd.
Use the daicctl utility to do this, i.e. call daicctl -d te_etsi.sx 1 to download the file te_etsi.sx to controller number 1. Use daicctl -l
to list all available controllers (and ports). You have to select the correct ISDN protocol file for your ISDN interface, see the Diehl docu-
mentation for details.
The cards bootstrap process involves another file, which is independent of the card type you use and the protocol you run. It is called
download.bin in current versions of the Diehl software distribution and has to be copied to the kernel compile directory under
dev/microcode/daic and converted into a header file used when compiling the kernel by running make in that directory. Your kernel compile
will fail and remind you of this if you forget to do this. Due to copyright restrictions we cannot distribute the driver with this file inte-
grated. But if you own a card, you do have the file (or can get it from the Diehl web server).
