Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!

+README file for the dc395x SCSI driver
+==========================================
+
+Status
+------
+The driver has been tested with CD-R and CD-R/W drives. These should
+be safe to use. Testing with hard disks has not been done to any
+great degree and caution should be exercised if you want to attempt
+to use this driver with hard disks.
+
+This is a 2.5 only driver. For a 2.4 driver please see the original
+driver (which this driver started from) at
+http://www.garloff.de/kurt/linux/dc395/
+
+Problems, questions and patches should be submitted to the mailing
+list. Details on the list, including archives, are available at
+http://lists.twibble.org/mailman/listinfo/dc395x/
+
+Parameters
+----------
+The driver uses the settings from the EEPROM set in the SCSI BIOS
+setup. If there is no EEPROM, the driver uses default values.
+Both can be overriden by command line parameters (module or kernel
+parameters).
+
+The following parameters are available:
+
+ - safe
+ Default: 0, Acceptable values: 0 or 1
+
+ If safe is set to 1 then the adapter will use conservative
+ ("safe") default settings. This sets:
+
+ shortcut for dc395x=7,4,9,15,2,10
+
+ - adapter_id
+ Default: 7, Acceptable values: 0 to 15
+
+ Sets the host adapter SCSI ID.
+
+ - max_speed
+ Default: 1, Acceptable value: 0 to 7
+ 0 = 20 Mhz
+ 1 = 12.2 Mhz
+ 2 = 10 Mhz
+ 3 = 8 Mhz
+ 4 = 6.7 Mhz
+ 5 = 5.8 Hhz
+ 6 = 5 Mhz
+ 7 = 4 Mhz
+
+ - dev_mode
+ Bitmap for device configuration
+
+ DevMode bit definition:
+ Bit Val(hex) Val(dec) Meaning
+ *0 0x01 1 Parity check
+ *1 0x02 2 Synchronous Negotiation
+ *2 0x04 4 Disconnection
+ *3 0x08 8 Send Start command on startup. (Not used)
+ *4 0x10 16 Tagged Command Queueing
+ *5 0x20 32 Wide Negotiation
+
+ - adapter_mode
+ Bitmap for adapter configuration
+
+ AdaptMode bit definition
+ Bit Val(hex) Val(dec) Meaning
+ *0 0x01 1 Support more than two drives. (Not used)
+ *1 0x02 2 Use DOS compatible mapping for HDs greater than 1GB.
+ *2 0x04 4 Reset SCSI Bus on startup.
+ *3 0x08 8 Active Negation: Improves SCSI Bus noise immunity.
+ 4 0x10 16 Immediate return on BIOS seek command. (Not used)
+ (*)5 0x20 32 Check for LUNs >= 1.
+
+ - tags
+ Default: 3, Acceptable values: 0-5
+
+ The number of tags is 1<<x, if x has been specified
+
+ - reset_delay
+ Default: 1, Acceptable values: 0-180
+
+ The seconds to not accept commands after a SCSI Reset
+
+
+For the built in driver the parameters should be prefixed with
+dc395x. (eg "dc395x.safe=1")
