Slackware SCSI bootdisks ------------------------ This directory contains a collection of batch files used to create Slackware bootdisks. To create a disk, just put a formatted floppy disk in your drive and choose one of the options listed below to make the disk. Read all of the choices carefully to pick the disk that best matches the hardware in your machine. NOTE: Using the VIEW program to create the Slackware bootdisks will not work under Windows95. If you're running Windows95, you'll need to restart your machine in MS-DOS mode before you can create a bootdisk. NOTE: In addition to some sort of SCSI support, all of these disks contain support for IDE hard drives and CDROM drives. So, if you're running a mixed IDE/SCSI system, the kernels on these disks will be able to handle the situation just fine. Look for the disk below containing support for your SCSI controller card. If you have a CDROM drive with a non-IDE, non-SCSI controller (such as a Sony CDU31a) then use the disk that supports your CDROM drive. Name Additional driver support ---- ------------------------- 7000fast.bat Western Digital 7000FASST SCSI support. advansys.bat AdvanSys SCSI support. aha152x.bat Adaptec 152x SCSI support. aha1542.bat Adaptec 1542 SCSI support. aha1740.bat Adaptec 1740 SCSI support. aha2x4x.bat Adaptec AIC7xxx SCSI support. (For these cards: AHA-274x, AHA-2842, AHA-2940, AHA-2940W, AHA-2940U, AHA-2940UW, AHA-2944D, AHA-2944WD, AHA-3940, AHA-3940W, AHA-3985, AHA-3985W) am53c974.bat AMD AM53/79C974 SCSI support. buslogic.bat Buslogic MultiMaster and FlashPoint SCSI support. dtc3280.bat DTC (Data Technology Corp) 3180/3280 SCSI support. eata_dma.bat DPT EATA-DMA SCSI support. (Boards such as PM2011, PM2021, PM2041, PM3021, PM2012B, PM2022, PM2122, PM2322, PM2042, PM3122, PM3222, PM3332, PM2024, PM2124, PM2044, PM2144, PM3224, PM3334.) eata_isa.bat DPT EATA-ISA/EISA SCSI support. (Boards such as PM2011B/9X, PM2021A/9X, PM2012A, PM2012B, PM2022A/9X, PM2122A/9X, PM2322A/9X) eata_pio.bat DPT EATA-PIO SCSI support. (PM2001 and PM2012A) fdomain.bat Future Domain TMC-16x0 SCSI support. gdt.bat This is a bootdisk for all SCSI Disk Array Controllers (EISA/ISA/PCI) manufactured by ICP Vortex. ibmmca.bat This is a bootdisk based on a development kernel which supports MicroChannel Architecture, found in some IBM PS/2 machines and laptops. in2000.bat Always IN2000 SCSI support. iomega.bat IOMEGA PPA3 parallel port SCSI support. (also supports the parallel port version of the ZIP drive) n53c406a.bat NCR 53c406a SCSI support. n_5380.bat NCR 5380 and 53c400 SCSI support. n_53c7xx.bat NCR 53c7xx, 53c8xx SCSI support. (Most NCR PCI SCSI controllers use this driver) n_53c8xx.bat This is the FreeBSD NCR driver adapted to Linux for the NCR53C8XX family of PCI-SCSI controllers. This driver supports parity checking, tagged command queuing, fast SCSI II transfer up to 10 MB/s with narrow SCSI devices and 20 MB/s with wide scsi devices. It also supports Ultra SCSI data transfers with NCR53C860 and NCR53C875 controllers. no_pci.bat If you're having problems with a hang during PCI probing, try this SCSI-supporting bootdisk without PCI BIOS support. (some old PCI motherboards have BIOS bugs and may crash if "PCI bios support" is enabled, but they run fine without this option). old_cd.bat This disk is provided in the unlikely event that someone needs to install from an old CD-ROM drive on a proprietary (*not* SCSI or IDE/ATAPI) interface to a hard drive on a SCSI controller. This disk supports most Linux supported SCSI controllers, plus the CD-ROM drives supported by these bootdisks: aztech.i, cdu31a.i, cdu535.i, cm206.i, goldstar.i, isp16.i, mcd.i, mcdx.i, optics.i, sanyo.i, and sbpcd.i. pas16.bat Pro Audio Spectrum/Studio 16 SCSI support. qlog_fas.bat ISA/VLB/PCMCIA Qlogic FastSCSI! support. (also supports the Control Concepts SCSI cards based on the Qlogic FASXXX chip) qlog_isp.bat Supports all Qlogic PCI SCSI controllers, except the PCI-basic, which is supported by the AMD SCSI driver. scsi.bat A generic SCSI bootdisk, with support for most SCSI controllers that work under Linux. (NOTE: This disk wastes a lot of memory, since it contains nearly *all* of the SCSI drivers. If you know which SCSI controller your system has, it's *far* better to use the disk designed especially for it. But, if you don't know, then this generic disk might just work for you.) scsinet.bat All supported SCSI controllers, plus full ethernet support. seagate.bat Seagate ST01/ST02, Future Domain TMC-885/950 SCSI support. tekram.bat This bootdisk supports the Tekram DC390(T) PCI SCSI Hostadapter with the Am53C974A chip, and perhaps other cards using the same chip. It does _not_ support the DC390W/U/F adaptor with the NCR/Symbios chips -- for those cards, use the n_53c8xx.s bootdisk. testkern.bat This is a generic SCSI supporting disk built with a recent development kernel such as linux-2.1.103. trantor.bat Trantor T128/T128F/T228 SCSI support. ultrastr.bat UltraStor 14F, 24F, and 34F SCSI support. ustor14f.bat UltraStor 14F and 34F SCSI support.
