Blue & White G3s

Blue & White G3s

[Dan Burcaw]

Folks,

Our in-house development team has successfully ported the CMD646
driver to the Linux/PPC kernel, offering the much anticipated support
for the primary ATA chain. This driver supports the ultra-DMA features
of the chipset, allowing data transfer in excess of 30MB per second.
The Blue & Whites are now fully functional with ATA, SCSI, and USB.

This kernel, which should be used for TESTING ONLY is available at:
ftp://ftp.yellowdoglinux.com/pub/yellowdog/kernel/blueg3/

Again, this kernel is for testing only.

Please let me know how it works on your Blue and White.

Thanks,
Dan

Er, cool!  But I've been using a CMD646 IDE kernel driver since on my AlphaPC
LX164 533 MHz since last October (2.1.116, I believe).  Is this your driver,
or have you since reinvented the wheel, or was it Alpha-specific, or am I
missing something?

Zeen,

The driver didn't work on Linux/PPC. It now does. Our patches have been
sent to Cort Dougan for approval.
