LPM-SCSI2 card and mps110

[Tony Laszlo <laszlo@example.com>]

About a year ago I wrote a series of messages 
to the list regarding this scsi card. When 
inserted, the system tries to load qlogic_cs 
(apparently a driver very similar to the 
one that the card requires) and hangs. One 
is forced to cut the power and reboot, fscking 
all the way. I have finally been able to get 
this thing working, thanks to Frank Bennett, 
Shimpei Yamashita and other kind souls. 

It turns out that mps110 (a Macnica driver) 
is what is needed. 

Here's the URL:

Here's the file:
mps110-3.0.13.tar.gz
(one needs to use pcmcia-cs-3.0.13) 

Here's the original driver that works with 2.0.x 
kernels and pcmcia-cs-2.9.0 :

It seems that some of the pcmcia-cs rpms and/or srpms 
put out by Kondara and Suse (maybe other distributions, 
as well) have this driver built in, so it may be possible 
for one to use those distributions or those rpms, rather 
than patch a standard pcmcia-cs. 

* There is a similar sounding card called LPM-SCSI2E 
(the "e" on the end is the "e" of "hah! you thought this 
would be Easy"). Despite the resemblance, this card is a 
different animal entirely. It requires the ninja_cs driver. 
The driver can also be found at the URL noted above.
