1. Does NetBSD support my device?

This section lists all the hardware-devices, which are known to work or NOT to work with NetBSD (see comments). IMPORTANT NOTE: PLEASE HELP TO UPDATE THIS LIST BY PROVIDING COMMENTS AND NEW INFO. IN RETURN, I WILL POST UPDATES AND TRY TO MAKE THE LIST AVAILABLE TO ANYONE INTERESTED. IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: This list is not guaranteed to be 100% correct.

1.1. Supported Harddisks

Currently, only SCSI controllers are supported, but support for IDE- or AT-drives is being worked on. If your harddisk is connected via SCSI, please report if it works in both, async and sync-mode. Note that the comments are left out, if the device works fine and reliable!

Capacity: up to 525 MB (QIC-320/525, QIC-150/250, QIC-24)
Approx Cost: ~1050 DM (german marks - internal)
Interface: SCSI
Hostadapter: A3000 internal
Informant: Marquart.C.Fanz@zfe.siemens.de
Comments: Tape drive does not function with standard NETBSD kernel, because of the mode select commmand in file sys/arch/amiga/dev/st.c. The drive is set to SCSI-1 with SCSI-2 response data format on default and does not accept the mode selcet command in the ..init (?) function. Comment out the mode select call will do it for NETBSD because the drive automatically recognize the size of the tape cartridge. I am using 150/250 tape cartridges with NETBSD. Only 'mt' doesn't work (unknown type 15) i.e. density 0x0F QIC-320/525. I am working on the correct mode select for this drive (and for general tape setup for ANSI X3.131-1986 (SCSI-1) and SCSI-2 (Revision 10k) when I find the time. SCSI-2 might go, but because WANGTEK has switched to new ACA (advanced common architecture, i.e. no SCSI select jumper any more) I don't know how to switch to SCSI-2.

Capacity: 2 GB
Interface: SCSI-2
Hostadapter: A3000-internal
Informant: heitmann@crunch.ikp.physik.th-darmstadt.de
