82. My Linux environment
9Linux kernel: 2.4.7 / 2.2.19
10pcmcia-cs:    3.1.27
11gcc:          gcc-2.95.4
12PC card:      I-O data PCSC-F (NinjaSCSI-3)
13              I-O data CBSC-II in 16 bit mode (NinjaSCSI-32Bi)
14SCSI device:  I-O data CDPS-PX24 (CD-ROM drive)
15              Media Intelligent MMO-640GT (Optical disk drive)
16
173. Install
18[1] Check your PC card is true "NinjaSCSI-3" card.
19    If you installed pcmcia-cs already, pcmcia reports your card as UNKNOWN
20    card, and write ["WBT", "NinjaSCSI-3", "R1.0"] or some other string to
21    your console or log file.
22    You can also use "cardctl" program (this program is in pcmcia-cs source
23    code) to get more info.
24

29...
30# cardctl ident
31Socket 0:
32  no product info available
33Socket 1:
34  product info: "IO DATA", "CBSC16       ", "1"
35
36
37[2] Get the Linux kernel source, and extract it to /usr/src.
38    Because the NinjaSCSI driver requires some SCSI header files in Linux 
39    kernel source, I recommend rebuilding your kernel; this eliminates 
40    some versioning problems.
41$ cd /usr/src
42$ tar -zxvf linux-x.x.x.tar.gz
43$ cd linux
44$ make config
45...
46
47[3] If you use this driver with Kernel 2.2, unpack pcmcia-cs in some directory
48    and make & install. This driver requires the pcmcia-cs header file.
49$ cd /usr/src
50$ tar zxvf cs-pcmcia-cs-3.x.x.tar.gz
51...
52
53[4] Extract this driver's archive somewhere, and edit Makefile, then do make.
54$ tar -zxvf nsp_cs-x.x.tar.gz
55$ cd nsp_cs-x.x
56$ emacs Makefile
57...
58$ make
59
60[5] Copy nsp_cs.ko to suitable place, like /lib/modules/<Kernel version>/pcmcia/ .
61
62[6] Add these lines to /etc/pcmcia/config .
63    If you use pcmcia-cs-3.1.8 or later, we can use "nsp_cs.conf" file.
64    So, you don't need to edit file. Just copy to /etc/pcmcia/ .

105See README.nin_cs .
106
1075. Caution
108 If you eject card when doing some operation for your SCSI device or suspend
109your computer, you encount some *BAD* error like disk crash.
110 It works good when I using this driver right way. But I'm not guarantee
111your data. Please backup your data when you use this driver.
112
1136. Known Bugs
114 In 2.4 kernel, you can't use 640MB Optical disk. This error comes from
115high level SCSI driver.
116
1177. Testing
118 Please send me some reports(bug reports etc..) of this software.
119When you send report, please tell me these or more.
120	card name
121	kernel version
122	your SCSI device name(hard drive, CD-ROM, etc...)
