Hello, The list seems to have been rather silent recently. But in case there are still readers out there I am pleased to announce initial success with porting TURBOchannel support to the VAXstation 4000/90 equipped with the DWCTX adapter. A moderately easy addition of this support has been enabled by the recent rewrite of the TURBOchannel bus support to the driver model which is as of 2.6.21-rc1 available upstream now. Here is a bootstrap log from my system using a PMAD-A Ethernet adapter for the interface used for NFS-root. This board uses PIO transactions only, but my experiments with some other boards show DMA works correctly as well. Unfortunately the DMA API is currently unsupported, so using a card like one of the DEFTA variations is not possible out of the box. Comments are welcome, especially ones to provide incentive for more work in this area. ;-) Maciej
