This is the official release 3.00 of the EATA and Ultrastor 14F/34F SCSI drivers.The patch applies to both 2.0.29 and 2.1.26.
Here is the summary of changes since the release included in standard kernels (2.50).
EATA ISA/EISA/PCI (DPT and generic EATA/DMA-compliant boards):
24 Feb 1997 rev. 3.00 for linux 2.1.26 and 2.0.29
- When loading as a module, parameter passing is now supported both in 2.0 and in 2.1 style.
- Fixed data transfer direction for some SCSI opcodes.
- Immediate acknowledge to request sense commands.
- Linked commands to each disk device are now reordered by elevator sorting. Rare cases in which reordering of write requests could cause wrong results are managed.
- Fixed spurious timeouts caused by long simple queue tag sequences.
- New command line option (tm:[0-3]) to choose the type of tags: 0 -> mixed (default); 1 -> simple; 2 -> head; 3 -> ordered.
