I asked some questions about the Sonic microSCSI scsi<->ethernet adapter on this list a couple of weeks ago. I since got advice and a driver, which allowed me to run the device very well. I thought I should say that I now have an ISA card plugged into my pc532 with wires soldered to the bottom going to the adapter, which is driven from the internal power supply. I started with an unused ISA card from which I removed all the components (using a dremel type tool, taking no prisoners). I now have to firmly attach the adapter to the card, and nibble the metal backplate to accommodate the NIC connectors. Anyone knows how much current I can source from the +5v pin on the ISA socket (pin B29)? I do not know what the adapter pulls but the dc-dc converter on it says it takes a max 580ma under full load. Simon, I think the driver is good enough to check it in and add it to the kernel build since most of the running pc532's now have a microSCSI attached -:) -- Eyal Lebedinsky ([email protected]) <http://samba.org/eyal/>
