| 4 | The following bug fixes and modifications have | |
| 5 | been applied to the MASSBUS device drivers: | |
| 6 | .IP \fBhp.c\fP 10 | |
| 7 | a large number of disk drives attached to second vendor disk | |
| 8 | controllers are now automatically | |
| 9 | recognized at boot time by probing the holding register and | |
| 10 | using disk geometry information to decide what kind of drive | |
| 11 | is present; the hpSDIST/hpRDIST parameters that control seek | |
| 12 | and search operations on controllers with multiple drives have | |
| 13 | been made a per-drive parameter; a bug where the sector number | |
| 14 | reported on a hard error was off by one has been fixed; the | |
| 15 | error recovery code now searches the bad sector table when a | |
| 16 | header CRC error occurs; the error recovery code now | |
| 17 | handles bad sectors on tracks which also have skip sectors; | |
| 18 | a bug in the handling of ECC errors has been fixed; many | |
| 19 | separate driver data structures have been consolidated into | |
| 20 | the software carrier structure; | |
| 21 | the driver handles the ML-11 solid-state disk | |
| 22 | .IP \fBmba.c\fP 10 | |
| 23 | now autoconfigures MASSBUS tapes and disks which ``come on-line'' | |
| 24 | after the initial boot |
