I've built a new kernel binary with the latest mac_scsi patches included. That is, the 23 patches that I recently sent to the scsi maintainers, in addition to the previous 84. This version of mac_scsi implements working PDMA which should benefit 68020- and 68030-based Macs (except for the IIfx). For example, sequential disk read throughput on my LC III is about fifteen times faster (when measured with dd). The mac_scsi driver needs more work in order to support DMA on the IIfx and PDMA on 68040-based PowerBooks. (All of the other 68040-based Macs use the mac_esp driver and not mac_scsi.) The download is here, https://www.telegraphics.com.au/~fthain/stan/linux-m68k-image-4.1.20-mac_scsi+.tar.gz SHA1 2a5418a5423f234ea549ea9dc26624cb5dbdae69 As before, this kernel configuration has the essential Mac drivers built-in so that it can be used without an initrd, e.g. for installation. --
