That matches what's implied by the above macro. I wasn't aware of the additional CPU or RAM board IDs that would appear together with this ID, thanks for clarifying this for me. > Later boards only seem to have a single Zorro ID, so in case of the > 1230/IV, 1240/1260, 2040/2060 and the CyberStorm MkII, the SCSI no longer > has its separate Zorro ID. (I can confirm this for the 1230/IV, 1260 and > 2060 case at least, as I own these hardware.) Tuomas' driver was for the 1230/IV and 2060 only, that confirms your description. The ID I see for the CyberStorm I on elgar is 8512/12 though, with no 8512/11 seen at all. Unless there are early versions of this board that also identify as 8512/11, it appears that we won't see a CyberStorm I show up with that ID (and as I understand you, we would see the driver bind to 8512/12 anyway, so all should be well). Would be good to hear whether the 1230/II shows a 8512/13 in the device list, but I guess the point is moot as we bind to 8512/11 there. > So I would say the CyberSCSI/CyberStorm060 as a whole just refers to the > CyberStorm MkI with the SCSI add-on in this case.

If anyone finds the driver fails to probe their CyberStorm I board correctly (and only has a 8512/11 ID in their devices list), I'd like to know. Regrettably, the driver won't print a message if an optional SCSI function is not detected. Cheers, Michael > Cheers, > -- > Charlie >
