README file for the dc395x SCSI driver
  ==========================================
  
  Status
  ------
  The driver has been tested with CD-R and CD-R/W drives. These should
  be safe to use. Testing with hard disks has not been done to any
  great degree and caution should be exercised if you want to attempt
  to use this driver with hard disks.
  
  This is a 2.5 only driver. For a 2.4 driver please see the original
  driver (which this driver started from) at
  http://www.garloff.de/kurt/linux/dc395/
  
  Problems, questions and patches should be submitted to the mailing
  list. Details on the list, including archives, are available at
  http://lists.twibble.org/mailman/listinfo/dc395x/
  
  Parameters
  ----------
  The driver uses the settings from the EEPROM set in the SCSI BIOS 
  setup. If there is no EEPROM, the driver uses default values.

  Both can be overridden by command line parameters (module or kernel

  parameters).
  
  The following parameters are available:
  
   - safe
     Default: 0, Acceptable values: 0 or 1
  
     If safe is set to 1 then the adapter will use conservative
     ("safe") default settings. This sets:
  
  		shortcut for dc395x=7,4,9,15,2,10
  
   - adapter_id
     Default: 7, Acceptable values: 0 to 15
  
     Sets the host adapter SCSI ID.
  
   - max_speed
     Default: 1, Acceptable value: 0 to 7
     0 = 20   Mhz
     1 = 12.2 Mhz
     2 = 10   Mhz
     3 = 8    Mhz
     4 = 6.7  Mhz
     5 = 5.8  Hhz
     6 = 5    Mhz
     7 = 4    Mhz
  
   - dev_mode
     Bitmap for device configuration
  
     DevMode bit definition:
        Bit Val(hex) Val(dec)  Meaning
        *0    0x01       1     Parity check
        *1    0x02       2     Synchronous Negotiation
        *2    0x04       4     Disconnection
        *3    0x08       8     Send Start command on startup. (Not used)
        *4    0x10      16     Tagged Command Queueing
        *5    0x20      32     Wide Negotiation
  
   - adapter_mode
     Bitmap for adapter configuration
  
     AdaptMode bit definition
        Bit Val(hex) Val(dec)  Meaning
        *0    0x01       1     Support more than two drives. (Not used)
        *1    0x02       2     Use DOS compatible mapping for HDs greater than 1GB.
        *2    0x04       4     Reset SCSI Bus on startup.
        *3    0x08       8     Active Negation: Improves SCSI Bus noise immunity.
         4    0x10      16     Immediate return on BIOS seek command. (Not used)
      (*)5    0x20      32     Check for LUNs >= 1.
  
   - tags
     Default: 3, Acceptable values: 0-5
     
     The number of tags is 1<<x, if x has been specified
  
   - reset_delay
     Default: 1, Acceptable values: 0-180
  
     The seconds to not accept commands after a SCSI Reset
  
  
  For the built  in driver the parameters should be prefixed with
  dc395x. (eg "dc395x.safe=1")
