Dave Hinds:

Looks like Linus caught us napping. In his 2.1.125 release he no longer
has the file "/usr/src/linux/drivers/scsi/aic7xxx_asm.c". I note from
following the kernal list he has added a new driver here in 2.1.125.

Anyway, I can build your pcmcia-cs.09-Oct-98.tar.gz against 2.1.124 but
not 2.1.125.

Here is the error messages

SNIP
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/pcmcia-cs-3.0.6/clients'
cd /usr/src/linux/drivers/scsi ; \
gcc -o aic7xxx_asm aic7xxx_asm.c ; \
./aic7xxx_asm -o aic7xxx_seq.h aic7xxx.seq
gcc: aic7xxx_asm.c: No such file or directory

SNIP

Here is the new contents

dragon:/usr/src/pcmcia-cs-3.0.6# ls /usr/src/linux/drivers/scsi/aic7xxx*
/usr/src/linux/drivers/scsi/aic7xxx.c
/usr/src/linux/drivers/scsi/aic7xxx.h
/usr/src/linux/drivers/scsi/aic7xxx_proc.c
/usr/src/linux/drivers/scsi/aic7xxx_reg.h
/usr/src/linux/drivers/scsi/aic7xxx_seq.c

It would appear the aic7xxx_asm.c file is no longer part of the kernal
build.

Looks like a change is needed in the pcmcia-cs-3.0.6 makefiles.

By the way, Toshiba ToPIC95 works still(09-Oct-98 beta), under 2.1.124.
At least as well as what I last communicated to you. It looks like you
have managed to captured all the changes you have been suggesting to
me. Both CardBus and Non-CardBus cards are visable and work with the
ToPIC95 in CardBus Mode. I'd just cannot build it for 2.1.125 at the
moment due to the error above and time constraints.
