Hello; first post,
I've been trying for a week to enable support for an APA-348 (Trantor
Mini-SCSI plus) under Slackware 7 / Linux 2.2.13. I have read the pages,
downloaded a myriad of different files and cannot for my life make this
work. I really need this by tomorrow, as we have a LUG installfest, and i
hope to use my Mini-SCSI to install Linux onto some machines that lack
cdrom drives and network connections.
Since there is no FAQ, can someone please describe to me the step-by-step
process of enabling driver support for my APA-348? I am very confused by
what appear to be two different sets of drivers: the ppSCSI suite and are
parport suite. It was only today that I relaized they were infact not the
same patches. Also, the numerous ppdev / preX files on the ftp site are so
very confusing to me. How am I to know which one is correct? Which version?
Do I need them both, if so which versions, and in what order? Finally,
after the patches are applied, then what? Do I make menuconfig and
automagically find new options for the APA-348 and the other devices in
the driver suite? Do I need to compile a special kernel to use the
drivers, or just the modules
BTW, My background is in Pascal and assembly, so the world of C is
foreign to me. Give me the dummy instructions :>
TIA,
Bill Layer
