Fsys.aha8scsi and AIC-7899 controller

Having a problem getting QNX4.25 to use an embedded AIC-7899 SCSI
controller. The adaptec AIC-7899 is listed on qnx’s website as being
supported by the Fsys.aha8scsi driver. I have the May 2001 product suite,
and the Fsys.aha8scsi included on that CD is an alpha release dating back to
september of 1999. The most recent version of Fsys.aha8scsi i have been able
to find is dated Feb 6, 2001 but it will not recognize the AIC-7899 in the
computer either. I need to be able to use this SCSI controller, it is listed
as being supported but nothing I have tried so far has worked. Just for
curiosities sake I tried installing RTP 6.1 on this same machine and it was
able to detect and use the AIC-7899 just fine, but using RTP is not an
option for this project.

Please Help!

Thanks

Try downloading patch E.
Also do a show_pci -v and look to see if manufacturer’s ID is 9004
or 9005. If it’s the later, you will have to call out the vendor
and device codes as aha8scsi options.

Pleese< look at my portion of “show_pci -v” and try to suggest
the Fsys.aha8scsi command line:

Addition for previous:

it seems that next command line detects adapter, but doesn’t detect drive
Fsys.aha8scsi aha8scsi -V 9005 -D 1F -vvvv &
produces
chim_FindTargets(): Find of Targets Failed
FindTargets: timeOut 0, taskStatus 0x0
[00] SIM=“aha8u160 1E” HBA=“Adaptec CHIM”
No devices found for Fsys to use

Any ideas?

If you really have spaces between the switches and the arguments, try
removing them, i.e. -V9005.


Our command line was:
Fsys.aha8scsi -L fsys -r -Ndisk aha8scsi -D80 -V9005 -p1

(There were two Adaptec cards - hence the “-p1” and the “-Ndisk”)

Sorry, but result is the same:
chim_FindTargets(): Find of Targets Failed
FindTargets: timeOut 0, taskStatus 0x0
[00] SIM=“aha8u160 1E” HBA=“Adaptec CHIM”
No devices found for Fsys to use

The divice really exists: where I change in BIOS Setup boot sequence
from IDE to SCSI it boot Win95 from the SCSI disk.

Using show_pci and using the values from there for theVendor and Device Id
worked. Sorry its taken so long to get back to you, been sick.
