The driver has not seen any maintainer activity or other work that
wasn't tree wide conversion or clenaups in the entire history of
the git tree.

Otherwise, they are identical. - -The DTC3x80 does not support DMA but it does have Pseudo-DMA which is -supported by the driver. - -Its DTC406 scsi chip is supposedly compatible with the NCR 53C400. -It is memory mapped, uses an IRQ, but no dma or io-port. There is -internal DMA, between SCSI bus and an on-chip 128-byte buffer. Double -buffering is done automagically by the chip. Data is transferred -between the on-chip buffer and CPU/RAM via memory moves. - -The driver detects the possible memory addresses (jumper selectable): - CC00, DC00, C800, and D800 -The possible IRQ's (jumper selectable) are: - IRQ 10, 11, 12, 15 -Parity is supported by the chip, but not by this driver. -Information can be obtained from /proc/scsi/dtc3c80/N. - -Note on interrupts: - -The documentation says that it can be set to interrupt whenever the -on-chip buffer needs CPU attention. I couldn't get this to work. So -the driver polls for data-ready in the pseudo-DMA transfer routine. -The interrupt support routines in the NCR3280.c core modules handle -scsi disconnect/reconnect, and this (mostly) works.

For this one, the driver will eventually hang in -the transfer state. I have tested with: "dd bs=4k count=2k -of=/dev/null if=/dev/sdb". It reads ok for a while, then hangs. -After beating my head against this for a couple of weeks, getting -nowhere, I give up. So.....This driver does NOT use interrupts, even -if you have the card jumpered to an IRQ.
