1. What's this?

 This is Workbit corp.'s(http://www.workbit.co.jp/) NinjaSCSI-32Bi
(http://www.workbit.co.jp/ts/z_njsc32bi.html) PCMCIA card and NinjaSCSI-32UDE
PCI card driver module for Linux.



2. Install

[1] This driver requires Kernel 2.4.x/2.6.x or later.
    And you want to load the module when Ninja card was inserted, you also
    install "hotplug" (http://linux-hotplug.sourceforge.net/) utility.

    card.

# lspci

01:00.0 SCSI storage controller: I-O Data Device, Inc. CBSC-II duo SCSI PCMCIA card (rev 01)

[3] This driver requires Kernel 2.4/2.6's source code. Please install cernel
    source code.

[4] Please check your kernel have PCI, CardBus, PCMCIA and SCSI support.
    If not, rebuild your kernel. And also requires PCMCIA-CS if you use
    CardBus card.

[5] Extract this archive somewhere.

[6] Edit "Makefile" and type "make" to compile the driver.

[7] Copy "nsp32.o" to /lib/modules/<kernel version>/kernel/driver/scsi/pcmcia/ .

[8] Type "depmod -ae" to re-made "/lib/modules/<kernel version>/modules.pcimap"

[9] Ok. Now you can use Ninja card in CardBus mode. Check your Ninja card is in
    CardBus mode, and insert the card to PC card slot.



3. Caution
 If you eject card when doing some operation for your SCSI device or suspend
your computer, you encount some *BAD* error like disk crash.
 It works good when I using this driver right way. But I'm not guarantee
your data. Please backup your data when you use this driver.
