I'm having a hard time finding any datasheets for the BusLogic BT-958 SCSI adapter. Here's what I've got so far:
Vendor: Mylex / BusLogic
PCI VendorID: 0x104B
PCI DeviceID: 0x1040
Linux Driver Source: http://www.cs.fsu.edu/~baker/devices/lx ... BusLogic.h
It is also emulated by VirtualBox, which is what I'm using for testing.
I can piece together some information from the linux driver source code, but a proper spec sheet would make my life a lot easier.
Thanks in advance...

Re: BusLogic BT-958 SCSI Host Adapter
Look for the "Multi-Master Ultra SCSI Host Adapters for PCI Systems" manual.
Re: BusLogic BT-958 SCSI Host Adapter
I found the users manual, which shows how to install the card and configure it, but nothing that shows PCI registers or memory addresses. Still searching...

I guess I deserve that...

I would just like to point out that if you go to Bing.com, and search for "Multi-Master Ultra SCSI Host Adapters for PCI Systems", you totally don't get the PDF you are looking for as the very first result.
Maybe it's time to switch my default search engine back to Google...

I find it funny when the product placements are way to obvious. Anyone else noticed the sudden increase in Windows 8 usage on lots of TV-shows?Brynet-Inc wrote:Who the heck uses Bing? Except perhaps fictional characters on American television...

Yes. I see lots of Windows phones. It's nice to know that when the world is ending, they still have the time to stay up on the latest trends.bubach wrote:I find it funny when the product placements are way to obvious.

Re: BusLogic BT-958 SCSI Host Adapter
Forgive me for waking an old post, but I believe my questions are relevant.
SpyderTL, how did you do on your Buslogic SCSI driver? Were you able to read (and write) from an (emulated) disk?
I have been working on my implementation and have a working start. I have retrieved all the information needed, set up the controller, and can send and receive SCSI commands. However, I cannot get the controller to fire an interrupt. I currently poll the INTERRUPT register for command completion.
I am now working on making it an interrupt based callback and cannot get the (Virtualbox) controller to fire an interrupt.
- I retrieved the IRQ LINE from the PCI Config space as IRQ 11.
- I have interrupt 11 on the PIC8259 unmasked.
- After a Buslogic (BT-958D) hard reset, the interrupts are enabled.
- I have cleared the interrupt bit using a write to the Buslogic CONTROL register.
- I have verified that my system IRQ handler allows interrupts and can see all interrupts (via debug messages) for other devices.
- I have polled that the Buslogic INTERRUPT register does indeed have bit 7 set, meaning an interrupt should have been sent to the PCI bus, which is then sent to the CPU.
- Whether it matters or not, I have verified that the irq_ch in the CONFIG reply as well as in the AUTOSCSI reply match for IRQ 11.
I want to say that the VirtualBox emulation is in error, but with a bit of research, I have found that it works on quite a few modern distros of *nix based systems as well as Win95 (with a modification). I think this modification was that you have to send the BUSLOGIC_MOD_IOADDR (0x95) command to disable the Legacy ISA Port I/O so that Win95 doesn't see two controllers, one at 0x33? and another at the PCI address.
Anyway, I am just wondering if anyone has a working BT-958D Buslogic Interrupt based driver for VirtualBox. This way I can eliminate the question of whether it is my code or VirtualBox.
Thank you,
Ben
