I originally posted (some time ago) that I was having trouble
getting a WangDAT 6130-HS running on my Sun Sparc2 running 4.1.3.
I received only two responses. Luckily, those two were all that
were needed. ;-)
The first respondent was "Kevin A. Noll" <knoll@csl-emh2.army.mil>
who gave me the following info:
You have to modify the kernel files in /sys/scsi/targets.
You need the following in your st_conf.c file
---------- snip ------------- snip -----------------
/* WangDAT Model 3200 4mm Helical Scan 2GB drive */
/* Added by K. A. Noll 1 Jun 1994 */
{
"WangDAT Model 3200", 18, "WangDAT Model 3200",
ST_TYPE_WANGDAT, 1024,
(ST_VARIABLE | ST_BSF | ST_BSR | ST_LONG_ERASE),
5000, 5000,
{ 0x00, 0x8C, 0x8C, 0x8C },
{ 0, 0, 0, 0 }
},
------------------------------------------------------
This is basically a copy of the Archive Python entry w/ appropriate
changes.
You also need the following in the stdef.h file.
#define ST_TYPE_WANGDAT 0x2b /* WangDAT */
where I substituted
"WangDAT Model 6130", 18, "WANGTEK 6130-HS",
for the first line in st_conf.c. After recompiling, I was saddened
to find that the drive still did not work. About a week later I got
a message from (I am really sorry not to be able to give credit where
credit is due, but I have misplaced his message. Sorry) someone else
saying that the second quoted entry in the st_conf.c file must match
EXACTLY the line that shows up at boot time when the drive is probed.
So I changed the line to
"WangDAT Model 6130", 18, "WANGTEK 6130-HS ",
What do you know - that did the trick. Unbelievable. Whoever
you are - thanks a lot!
Cheers,
Andy
