[parisc-linux] HP FC A3591 aka Mombasa GS -- or A6684A?

[Padgett, Pat M [NTWK SVCS]]

Good morning,

Does anyone know if the replacement for the A3591B is supported?

The replacement card is the A6684A HSC Tachlite card.

Thanks!

Pat Padgett

As far as I can tell, these are Tachyon cards with a GSC interface. They
aren't supported by any driver at the moment.  drivers/scsi/cpqfcTS*
would be the driver that needs to be altered.  Unfortunately, it's one
of the canonical examples of badly written drivers, and these cards
aren't exactly common, so I'm not aware of anyone trying to make these
cards work.
