+=========================================
+WorkBiT NinjaSCSI-3/32Bi driver for Linux
+=========================================
+
+1. Comment
+==========
+
+This is Workbit corp.'s(http://www.workbit.co.jp/) NinjaSCSI-3
+for Linux.
+
+2. My Linux environment
+=======================
+
+:Linux kernel: 2.4.7 / 2.2.19
+:pcmcia-cs: 3.1.27
+:gcc: gcc-2.95.4
+:PC card: I-O data PCSC-F (NinjaSCSI-3),
+ I-O data CBSC-II in 16 bit mode (NinjaSCSI-32Bi)
+:SCSI device: I-O data CDPS-PX24 (CD-ROM drive),
+ Media Intelligent MMO-640GT (Optical disk drive)
+
+3. Install
+==========
+
+(a) Check your PC card is true "NinjaSCSI-3" card.
+
+ If you installed pcmcia-cs already, pcmcia reports your card as UNKNOWN
+ card, and write ["WBT", "NinjaSCSI-3", "R1.0"] or some other string to
+ your console or log file.
+
+ You can also use "cardctl" program (this program is in pcmcia-cs source
+ code) to get more info.
+
+ ::
+
+ # cat /var/log/messages
+ ...
+ Jan 2 03:45:06 lindberg cardmgr[78]: unsupported card in socket 1
+ Jan 2 03:45:06 lindberg cardmgr[78]: product info: "WBT", "NinjaSCSI-3", "R1.0"
+ ...
+ # cardctl ident
+ Socket 0:
+ no product info available
+ Socket 1:
+ product info: "IO DATA", "CBSC16 ", "1"
+
+
+(b) Get the Linux kernel source, and extract it to /usr/src.
+ Because the NinjaSCSI driver requires some SCSI header files in Linux
+ kernel source, I recommend rebuilding your kernel; this eliminates
+ some versioning problems.
+
+ ::
+
+ $ cd /usr/src
+ $ tar -zxvf linux-x.x.x.tar.gz
+ $ cd linux
+ $ make config
+ ...
+
+(c) If you use this driver with Kernel 2.2, unpack pcmcia-cs in some directory
+ and make & install. This driver requires the pcmcia-cs header file.
+
+ ::
+
+ $ cd /usr/src
+ $ tar zxvf cs-pcmcia-cs-3.x.x.tar.gz
+ ...
+
+(d) Extract this driver's archive somewhere, and edit Makefile, then do make::
+
+ $ tar -zxvf nsp_cs-x.x.tar.gz
+ $ cd nsp_cs-x.x
+ $ emacs Makefile
+ ...
+ $ make
+
+(e) Copy nsp_cs.ko to suitable place, like /lib/modules/<Kernel version>/pcmcia/ .
+
+(f) Add these lines to /etc/pcmcia/config .
+
+ If you use pcmcia-cs-3.1.8 or later, we can use "nsp_cs.conf" file.
+ So, you don't need to edit file. Just copy to /etc/pcmcia/ .
+
+ ::
+
+ device "nsp_cs"
+ class "scsi" module "nsp_cs"
+
+ card "WorkBit NinjaSCSI-3"
+ version "WBT", "NinjaSCSI-3", "R1.0"

+ card "WorkBit NinjaSCSI-32Bi (16bit) / KME-4"
+ version "KME ", "SCSI-CARD-004", "1"
+ bind "nsp_cs"
+
+(f) Start (or restart) pcmcia-cs::
+
+ # /etc/rc.d/rc.pcmcia start (BSD style)
+
+ or::
+
+ # /etc/init.d/pcmcia start (SYSV style)
+
+
+4. History
+==========
+
+See README.nin_cs .
+
+5. 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.
+
+6. Known Bugs
+=============
+
+In 2.4 kernel, you can't use 640MB Optical disk. This error comes from
+high level SCSI driver.
+
+7. Testing
+==========
+
+Please send me some reports(bug reports etc..) of this software.
+When you send report, please tell me these or more.
+
+ - card name
+ - kernel version
+ - your SCSI device name(hard drive, CD-ROM, etc...)
+
